Description:
Focusing on hybrid health practices and perceptions in Yogyarta, Indonesia, this ethnographic study describes Javanese approaches to their own health and the health of modernity. Based on his observations of and interviews with the people there, Ferzacca (University of Lethbridge) details a pluralistic system of urban medicine. In so doing, he describes the Javanese construction of self, and contradicts earlier anthropological studies. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
