{"product_id":"translating-the-body-hans-pols-9789814722056","title":"Translating the Body: Medical Education in Southeast Asia","description":"Until recently, receiving a European or North American-style medical education in Southeast Asia was a profoundly transformative experience, as western conceptions of the body differed significantly from indigenous knowledge and explanations. Further, conceptions of the human body had to be translated into local languages and related to vernacular views of health, disease, and healing. \u003ci\u003eTranslating the Body \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to present the history of biomedical education across Southeast Asia. The contributors chart and analyze the organization of western medical education in Southeast Asia, public health education campaigns in the region, and the ways in which practitioners of what came to be conceived of as \"traditional medicine\" in many Southeast Asian countries organized themselves in response.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Pols\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9814722057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814722056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National University of Singapore Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Hans Pols","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075279319295,"sku":"9789814722056","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8aa8e77-c906-4d1c-9ee8-6a9c3aabbd5e.jpg?v=1685458618","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/translating-the-body-hans-pols-9789814722056","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
