Using a community-level approach, anthropologist Ellen E. Foley analyzes the implementation of global health policies and how they become intertwined with existing social and political inequalities in Senegal. Your Pocket Is What Cures You examines qualitative shifts in health and healing spurred by these reforms, and analyzes the dilemmas they create for health professionals and patients alike. It also explores how cultural frameworks, particularly those stemming from Islam and Wolof ethnomedicine, are central to understanding how people manage vulnerability to ill health. While offering a critique of neoliberal health policies, Your Pocket Is What Cures You remains grounded in ethnography to highlight the struggles of men and women who are precariously balanced on twin precipices of crumbling health systems and economic decline. Their stories demonstrate what happens when market-based health reforms collide with material, political, and social realities in African societies. 410 0$aStudies in medical anthropology. 606 $aMedical anthropology$zSenegal$zSaint-Louis (Region) 606 $aMedical policy$zSenegal$zSaint-Louis (Region) 606 $aPublic health$zSenegal$zSaint-Louis (Region) 606 $aMedical care$zSenegal$zSaint-Louis (Region) 606 $aMedical economics$zSenegal$zSaint-Louis (Region) 607 $aSaint-Louis Region (Senegal)$xSocial conditions 607 $aSaint-Louis Region (Senegal)$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMedical anthropology 615 0$aMedical policy 615 0$aPublic health 615 0$aMedical care 615 0$aMedical economics 676 $a362.109663 700 $aFoley$b Ellen E.$f1976-$01038762 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458222803321 996 $aYour pocket is what cures you$92460541 997 $aUNINA
