Paperback. This book seeks to move emphasis away from the over-riding importance given to the state in existing studies of western medicine in India, and locates medical practice within its cultural, social and professional milieus. Based on Bengali doctors writings this book examines how various medical problems, challenges and debates were understood and interpreted within overlapping contexts of social identities and politics on the one hand, and their function within a largely unregulated medical market on the other. Nationalizing the Body examines the different meanings of modern medicine that were employed in colonial South Asia, and explores the different discourses that were constructed around modernity. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
