Global Health in Africa explores the histories of global health initiatives to control disease in Africa. It provides valuable historical and anthropological research that integrates the social and biomedical sciences in the service of global public health. Its aim is to broaden the training of a new generation of global public health professionals. This new collection of nine chapters explores past global health interventions, some of which have failed and cast long shadows of unintended consequences. The contributors reveal long-standing policy and unquestioned assumptions that continue to guide some contemporary interventions. The volume as a whole highlights the utility of bridging the divide between social and biomedical sciences in order to improve the delivery of global health services. -- from back cover.
