Review
“This volume illustrates very well that the current day applicability of the core concepts of global health [have] need of the serious critical historical and cultural examination that this volume (and no others that I know of) now provides in its richest and most useful form.”
Ernest Drucker, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health

“Provides a variety of case studies from different parts of the continent and different historical periods.… The cumulative effect of the chapters impresses on the reader the scope of the experimentation that has been done and that continues to be done on African bodies.”

“[Global Health in Africa] demonstrates that Africa’s global health history is rich, important, and under-researched. The strength of this book lies in the breadth and depth of the studies presented in one volume.”
