It highlights contests over healing, knowledge and medicines through the frameworks of hybridisation and pluralism. The intertwined histories of medicine, empire and early globalisation influenced the ways in which millions of people encountered and experienced suffering, healing and death. In an increasingly global search for therapeutics and localised definition of acceptable healing, networks and mobilities played key roles. Healers’ engagements with politics, law and religion underline the close connections between healing, power and authority. They also reveal the agency of healers, sufferers and local societies, in encounters with modernising imperial states, medical science and commercialisation. The book questions and complements the traditional narratives of triumphant biomedicine, reminding readersthat ‘traditional’ medical cultures and practitioners did not often disappear, but rather underwent major changes in the increasingly interconnected world. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | 1700s, 1800s, 1900s; History of medicine; Indigenous healers; Medical pluralism; Arctic; Americas; Caribbe | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-15491-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-15491-2Series ISSN 2635-1633 Series E-ISSN 2635-1641 | | issn_series | 2635-1633 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
