Sažetak
"Multiple Medical Realities – Patients and Healers in Biomedical, Alternative and Traditional Medicine" is a title to a reader comprised of 10 articles selected by Helle Johansen and Imre Lázár with the intent to bring together two major theoretical trends in medical anthropology: one based on its fundamental concept of medical pluralism and the other based on phenomenological studies of body and self. The work of authors of these studies, all prominent European social anthropologists with very diverse research focuses situated worldwide (Mexico, Ghana, India, Norway, etc...) uphold the optics on plurality of provision, use and understanding of medical practices as cultural universal. Multiple views on multiple medical realities, as given by this well rounded book, will be inspiring and invaluable reading for any contemporary interest or research in this field.
