Diseases are everyday, ordinary occurrences intimately related to
people's daily lives. However, as the metaphor of the "Sick Man of
East Asia" emerged against the backdrop of a weak modern China,
health care and the curing of diseases were turned into grand state
politics with far-reaching implications. This book, starting with
the argument for diseases being metaphors, describes and interprets
such incidents in China's history as the Abolishment of Traditional
Chinese Medicine, the Patriotic Hygiene Campaign and the
Cooperative Medical Services. In an effort to reveal the internal
logic of disease politics in the transformation of the state-people
relationship, the book analyzes key aspects including the
politicization and inclusion of diseases in state governance, the
double disciplining of hygiene, legitimacy construction of the
state, the remaking of the nationals, and the expansion of the
"publicness" of the state. The book argues that disease politics in
modern China has developed following the path from nationals to the
people, and then to citizens, or from crisis politics and
mobilization politics to life politics. In addition, a marked
change has occurred in China's state building: increasingly
standard, rationalized and institutionalized means have been
employed while the non-standard means, such as large-scale
mobilization and ideological coercion, had been historically used
in China.
