Recent political, social, and economic changes in Africa have provoked radical shifts in the landscape of health and healthcare. Medicine, Mobility, and Power in Global Africa captures the multiple dynamics of a globalized world and its impact on medicine, health, and the delivery of healthcare in Africa—and beyond. Essays by an international group of contributors take on intractable problems such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and insufficient access to healthcare, drugs, resources, hospitals, and technologies. The movements of people and resources described here expose the growing challenges of poverty and public health, but they also show how new opportunities have been created for transforming healthcare and promoting care and healing.

Reviews
"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
"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
"This skillfully edited collection clears a path for further new and exciting work around topics of mobility, transnational health, and global healing."—Bulletin of the History of Medicine
"For medical anthropologists who work in Africa, the Dilger, Kanye, and Langwick volume is almost obligatory, and reading it will likely lead to a pleasant afternoon filled with recognizable names and debates.57.3 Dec. 2014"—African Studies Review
"Medicine, Mobility and Power in Global Africa is a welcome addition to a growing body of scholarship examining postcolonial medicine, health, and healing in Africa."—Journal of African History
