Reviews

“This book is a collection of essays addressing varied historical and ethnographic contexts of health governance in Pakistan, governance in the sense of state control as well as control exercised by communities and kin groups. [...] Khan addresses a lengthy historical panorama, enabling him to draw out colonial legacies and inheritances in the present and enfold the evolving neo-colonial geopolitics of development assistance to Pakistan as a poor country. [...] Amid a medical anthropology that often feels overdetermined by Foucault, and amid the pressing real-world health injustices Khan canvasses in Pakistan but also, familiar to other South Asian settings and beyond, this is an important project.” - Kaveri Qureshi, University of Edinburgh
