| Zusammenfassung: | "Africa has emerged as a prime arena of global health interventions that focus on particular diseases and health emergencies. These are framed increasingly in terms of international concerns about security, human rights, and humanitarian crisis. This presents a stark contrast to the 1960s and '70s, when many newly independent African governments pursued the vision of public health "for all," of comprehensive health care services directed by the state with support from foreign donors. These initiatives often failed, undermined by international politics, structural adjustment, and neoliberal policies, and by African states themselves. Yet their traces remain in contemporary expectations of and yearnings for a more robust public health. This volume explores how medical professionals and patients, government officials, and ordinary citizens approach questions of public health as they navigate contemporary landscapes of NGOs and transnational projects, faltering state services, and expanding privatization. Its contributors analyze the relations between the public and the private providers of public health, from the state to new global biopolitical formations of political institutions, markets, human populations, and health. Tensions and ambiguities animate these complex relationships, suggesting that the question of what public health actually is in Africa cannot be taken for granted. Offering historical and ethnographic analyses, the volume develops an anthropology of public health in Africa. Contributors: P. Wenzel Geissler; Murray Last; Rebecca Marsland; Lotte Meinert; Benson A. Mulemi; Ruth J. Prince; and Noemi Tousignant"...Provided by publisher |

Public health in Africa
—
as elsewhere
—
is no longer strictly public. Public and private providers
are involved in national and transnational partnerships that divide responsibility for health and
welfare among a number of agencies and actors. These clear and powerful essays set out this
new landscape, exploring how medical professionals and patients, government officials and
citizens approach questions of health. This text is required reading for anyone interested in con¬
temporary Africa.

Still Life: Hopes, Desires and Satisfactions
Anchored in a clear and nuanced political and social history, an expansive anthropological
understanding of healing, and an ethnographically rich comprehension of policy as it plays out
on the ground, this excellent new collection gets at the heart of the plural and contradictory
meanings of the publics that underlie African public health. Together the ethnographies of
public health collected here demonstrate that we cannot assume the nature of public health
by reading it through the logics of contemporary global health. Instead, the anthropologists in
this book call for a careful rethinking of African public health as a domain of experimentation,
political imagination, and social contestation, tracing its effects on the ground, and its future
possibilities on the continent.

Julie Livingston, author of Improvising Medicine: An African
Oncology Ward in an Emerging Cancer Epidemic
A powerful and complex picture of what public health is in Africa today as commitments to
national health systems are being reshaped through the dramatic rise of global health. This
set of ethnographically rich and historically sensitive essays illustrates the forms of inequality
that structure efforts to building health care institutions and that configure debates over who is
responsible for the health and care of particular individuals. It is a must read for both African-
ists interested in medicine and public health professionals who care about Africa.

Press 2014 VII, 292 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Cambridge Centre of African Studies series Papers from a workshop held at the University of Cambridge's Centre of African Studies and Department of Social Anthropology in June 2008. - Includes bibliographical references (S. 257-284) and index "Africa has emerged as a prime arena of global health interventions that focus on particular diseases and health emergencies. These are framed increasingly in terms of international concerns about security, human rights, and humanitarian crisis. This presents a stark contrast to the 1960s and '70s, when many newly independent African governments pursued the vision of public health "for all," of comprehensive health care services directed by the state with support from foreign donors. These initiatives often failed, undermined by international politics, structural adjustment, and neoliberal policies, and by African states themselves. Yet their traces remain in contemporary expectations of and yearnings for a more robust public health. This volume explores how medical professionals and patients, government officials, and ordinary citizens approach questions of public health as they navigate contemporary landscapes of NGOs and transnational projects, faltering state services, and expanding privatization. Its contributors analyze the relations between the public and the private providers of public health, from the state to new global biopolitical formations of political institutions, markets, human populations, and health. Tensions and ambiguities animate these complex relationships, suggesting that the question of what public health actually is in Africa cannot be taken for granted. Offering historical and ethnographic analyses, the volume develops an anthropology of public health in Africa. Contributors: P. Wenzel Geissler; Murray Last; Rebecca Marsland; Lotte Meinert; Benson A. Mulemi; Ruth J. Prince; and Noemi Tousignant"...Provided by publisher Geschichte 1970-2013 gnd rswk-swf Public Health Anthropology, Cultural History, 20th Century History, 21st Century Medizinische Versorgung (DE-588)4038270-9 gnd rswk-swf Öffentliches Gesundheitswesen (DE-588)4139691-1 gnd rswk-swf Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift gnd-content Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 g Öffentliches Gesundheitswesen (DE-588)4139691-1 s Geschichte 1970-2013 z DE-604 Medizinische Versorgung (DE-588)4038270-9 s Prince, Ruth Jane edt Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-0-8214-4466-5 Digitalisierung UB Bayreuth - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=027153604&sequence=000003&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Bayreuth - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=027153604&sequence=000004&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
