During the first half of the twentieth century, representatives of the French colonial health services actively strove to expand the practice of Western medicine in the frontier colony of Cambodia. But as the French physicians ventured beyond their colonial enclaves, they found themselves negotiating with the plurality of Cambodian cultural practices relating to health and disease. These negotiations were marked by some success, a great deal of misunderstanding, and much failure. Bringing together colorful historical vignettes, social and anthropological theory, and quantitative analyses, "Mixed Medicines" examines these interactions between the Khmer, Cham, and Vietnamese of Cambodia and the French, documenting the differences in their understandings of medicine and revealing the unexpected transformations that occurred during this period - for both the French and the indigenous population. A compelling social history, "Mixed Medicines" will be welcomed by anyone interested in the globalization of scientific and medical practices.

殖民医疗史，草草翻过。感觉这类研究其实都差不多，殖民医学/知识/文化和本土的纠葛。作者受人类学影响很深，强调文化的不可通约性。三种关于麻风不同理解和实践的纠结挺有意思。
