The Cancer Within

Reproduction, Cultural Transformation, and Health Care in Romania

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Cancer Within examines cervical cancer in Romania as a point of entry into an anthropological reflection on contemporary health care. Fashioned by patriarchal relations, lived religion, and the historical trauma of pronatalism, Romanian women’s responses to reproductive medicine and cervical cancer prevention are complicated by neoliberal reforms to medical care.
