Eliminating the inequalities of the current system of drug production and distribution requires a deep and nuanced understanding of that system. By offering ethnographically grounded investigations of the dynamics of the global pharmaceutical industry, this volume advances significantly an urgent research agenda.”—Dr. Jim Yong Kim, Director, Department of HIV\/AIDS, World Health Organization\u003cbr\u003e“This collection of brilliantly incisive essays gives us the necessary standpoint from which to view the increasing global circulation of pharmaceuticals, the spreading influence of ‘Big Pharma,’ and the growing use of medication to shape identities in a neoliberal world order. It is a work of superior, innovative scholarship, addressing issues of major contemporary significance.”—Warwick Anderson, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Cultivation of Whiteness: Science, Health, and Racial Destiny in Australia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This volume contributes to the literature of pharmaceutical anthropology, reinforcing a portrait of the pharmaceutical industry as a business that is concentrated in a handful of large commercial entities that invest heavily in research and marketing. . . . The individual chapters are strong scholarly, and primarily anthropological contributions. I recommend the book for libraries and for academics and other professionals.” -- Nina L.
