      title = {The politics of knowledge in the biomedical sciences :  South/African perspectives /},
      abstract = {In the wake of the decolonization movement in South Africa  and around the world, this edited work presents fresh  evidence and advances new arguments on the politics and  economics of colonial biomedical knowledge in South Africa  and other parts of the African continent. Covering a richly  diverse set of fields---including human genetics,  obstetrics, occupational therapy, medical photography and  the vaccine sciences---the book demonstrates the troubled  histories and the enduring effects of imperial knowledge  decades since the end of colonial rule and apartheid. While  this is a valuable text on the politics of the biomedical  sciences written from the perspective of the African  continent, at the same time it revisits knowledge/power  relationships between the global north and south in a  historical perspective and in their contemporary expression  in the disciplines. The immediate benefit is a reference  resource for medical science researchers, and a teaching  text for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students.  The book is further composed as an accessible, readable and  interesting text on politics and medicine in Africa for the  discerning lay reader.},
