Description

Book Synopsis
Bringing together colorful historical vignettes, social and anthropological theory, and quantitative analyses, this title examines these interactions between the Khmer, Cham, and Vietnamese of Cambodia and the French, documenting the differences in their understandings of medicine.

Trade Review
"Mixed Medicines is just the sort of book that the field of colonial medicine has been clamoring for. It offers much more than a study of the imposition of French colonial medicine on the Khmer people of Cambodia; it show us why people 'mix' health care practices in ways that make sense to them but baffle others. This brilliant book will inform scholars and policymakers alike." (Ken Alder, Northwestern University)"
