Based on extensive field research in the Manianga region of the Lower Congo, Health in a Fragile State is an anthropological account of public health and health care after the collapse of the Congolese state in the 1980s and 1990s. This work brings into focus John M. Janzen's earlier books on African health and healing, revealing the collaborative effort by local, national, and international agencies to create viable alternative institutions to those that represented the centralized state. This book documents and analyzes the realignment of existing institutions and the creation of new ones that shape health and healing. Janzen explores the manner in which power and information, including science, are legitimized in the preservation and improvement of health. Institutional validity and knowledge empower citizens and health practitioners to gain the upper hand over the region's principal diseases, including malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, and HIV/AIDS.

This compact resource analyzes and demystifies the processes of applying for, competing for, and getting funding for research. Neither a cookbook nor a template, it encourages readers to apply the critical thinking and attention to detail they use in their investigations to the pursuit of the grant. Chapters delve into choosing among funding options, project planning and writing, filling out the materials in the application packet, and troubleshooting for problems at various steps of the journey. Along the way, the authors also explore common myths of grantsmanship and alert readers to hidden pitfalls that can get an otherwise good submission rejected. Among the core skill areas covered: · Using strategic thinking throughout the application process · Understanding the major grant mechanisms · Navigating the grant timeline, including the peer review and the vetting process · Writing the effective project description · Following up if the project is not funded or funding is deferred · Building a career grant by grant Brimming with expert knowledge, Grantsmanship for New Investigators ably balances motivation with realism. The authors’ deep understanding and experience of how funding agencies arrive at judgments will inspire readers to present their research in the most convincing manner.

Depuis vingt ans, la construction de politiques laïques de santé publique et la médicalisation de l’hôpital ont fait l’objet de travaux majeurs. Grâce à des sources inédites et des méthodes novatrices, cette série de travaux sur la santé des populations civiles et militaires retrace les mutations des structures de soins traditionnelles et étudie le regard des populations sur les formes nouvelles d’assistance sanitaire. Dès la fin du xviie siècle, les populations militaires sont prises en charge par des institutions laïcisées et médicalisées –thérapeutiques ou thermales– qui serviront de modèle aux hôpitaux civils du xixe siècle. Dans le même temps est créé un corps de santé militaire qui veille en temps de paix à la santé des troupes, traite les blessures des combattants et soigne aussi bien militaires que civils dans les territoires soumis par la conquête coloniale. Au xviiie siècle, les populations urbaines connaissent des perspectives sanitaires nouvelles par la diffusion de médicaments prometteurs tels que le quinquina, grâce aussi aux transformations de l’hôpital civil. Ce bouleversement des structures thérapeutiques s’accélère aux xixe et xxe siècles dans le secteur public comme dans le secteur privé. Les patients recourent désormais en nombre croissant à l’hôpital ; ils n’hésitent plus à se plaindre, exigeant le respect de la personne par l’institution médicale.
