Global Movements, Local Concerns: Medicine and Health in Southeast Asia
---
Laurence Monnais & Harold J Cook (eds)
The contributors to this book trace the varying histories of health practices in Southeast Asia over the past two centuries. Outwardly the most significant health impact during this period was the introduction of Western medicine on a large scale, mainly due to the dictates of colonial powers and their successor governments. Yet the effect has not been to completely wipe out traditional practices that preceded this change. The essays demonstrate how both systems live beside and interact with each other. New Paperback. First Edition. 290 pages with figures, tables, a bibliography and an index.
