Product details

"Biomedicine, Healing and Modernity in Rural Bangladesh" offers a comprehensive ethnographic analysis of the integration of biomedicine into the rural health structures of Bangladesh. Dr. Faruk Shah examines how biomedical practices have been localized within a context of social inequalities and gender-specific policies. The book highlights the challenges posed by health bureaucracy, corruption, and structural violence, and analyzes the impact of these factors on the healthcare of villagers. Shah argues that biomedicine has gained cultural authority in Bangladesh, while simultaneously reinforcing existing social hierarchies and inequalities. This critical examination of healthcare provides valuable insights into the dynamics of power and capital in the health sector and the commodification of health.
