Authors:
This book offers a painstaking and detailed investigation into the internal logic of the progress of disease politics in modern China, with a very thought-provoking conclusion
The book provides us with a different and significant perspective for a profound understanding of China’s politics
The book gives us an overall view of disease politics in the rural areas of modern China by illustrating how the state’s role in the provision of health care was repeatedly redefined with far-reaching consequences, revealing the interaction among medical care, the building of a modern state, and the peasants’ daily lives
