Tracing the arc of malaria on the archipelago from colonial encounters to the present day, it examines the ways in which malaria parasites have become entangled in contemporary lives. It uniquely explores the experiences of local government leaders working towards sustainably developing this last ecological frontier, health workers trying to meet international targets to eliminate malaria, and Pälawan people trying to keep their bodies, social relations and the cosmos in careful balance. In exquisite detail, Dr Dalia Iskander shows how malaria emerged from, and was intrinsic to, a whole host of strategically-orientated social practices that were enacted in as well as around the disease’s name, as people worked day-to-day to gain power in different guises in different arenas. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | Malaria; Philippines; anthropology; power; indigenous people | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-6764-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-981-16-6766-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-981-16-6764-0 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapor |
