Abstract

This open access book explores how young people engage with chemical substances in their everyday lives. It builds upon and supplements a large body of literature on young people’s use of drugs and alcohol to highlight the subjectivities and socialities that chemical use enables across diverse socio-cultural settings, illustrating how young people seek to avoid harm, while harnessing the beneficial effects of chemical use. The book is based on multi-sited anthropological research in Southeast Asia, Europe and the US, and presents insights from collaborative and contrasting analysis. Hardon brings new perspectives to debates across drug policy studies, pharmaceutical cultures and regulation, science and technology studies, and youth and precarity in post-industrial societies.

Abstract

To what extent are women and men's reproductive rights respected around the world? Has family planning come to mean little more than population control? This book contains information on the provision of family planning in eight countries from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. It looks at each country's family planning programme and the extent to which that programme makes women instruments of demographic population policy. It appraises the quality of care and adherence to reproductive rights in different family planning settings for each country. While the picture presented is disturbing and often surprising, the authors provide recommendations for change to empower women and men in a variety of cultures.

Abstract

The landscape of healthcare is changing rapidly, both on an organisational and a technological level. This book gathers medical anthropologists to examine the ways that both patients and health care workers are being affected by new policies, market, and technologies. Contributors cover a wide range of topics, including vaccination, disability, migration, and self-medication, making clear that not only are changing circumstances leading to the emergence of new socialities, but they are also driving new ethics and moralities.
