Beskrivelse
Medical anthropologists, medical sociologists and health educationalists have assumed that 'systems of medical knowledge' held by indigenous peoples and by Westerners alike are generally uniform and consistent. Over the last few years it has become evident that this is not so: frequently members of social groups, and their healers, do not have a clearly established rationale for health beliefs and medical practices. This book collects together some recent works in medical anthropology which argues that there are limits to local health-related knowledge, whether in the mind of the informants themselves or in the analytical models of the anthropologist.
