Recenzii
"This interesting and timely volume shows how African health issues can no longer be thought of as being sealed within Africa -- that transnational flows are fundamentally shaping health practices." Mark Hunter, University of Toronto Scarborough "Focusing on globalization and Africa... this volume underscores the interconnectedness and the imbalances during a time of neoliberal reform." Elisha P. Renne, University of Michigan
