Overview

This is a study of the complaints of medical patients in rural Bangladesh, and how those complaints are connected to and reveal the patient's social world, social relations, sense of self, ideology of language and his/her relation to power. The book also focuses on the troubles besetting genres of complaint in Bangladesh. Wilce provides an ethnography of Bangla communication, a semiotically-oriented book on greater Bengal, and an attempt to apply critical medical anthropology to Bangladesh.
