Islam and Healing: Loss and Recovery of an Indo-Muslim Medical Tradition, 1600-1900

Autor S. Alavi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – sep 2008
Traces the Islamic healing tradition's interaction with Indian society and politics as these evolved in tandem from 1600 to 1900, and demonstrates how an in-house struggle for hegemony can be as potent as external power in defining medical, social and national modernity. A pioneering work on the social and medical history of Indian Islam.
