Gender, Sickness, and Healing in Rural Egypt

Ethnography in Historical Context (Conflict and Social Change)

by

The dynamics of sickness and healing are examined in terms of male-female power relations in this study of an Egyptian village. The author goes beyond an account of gender dynamics in a culturally embedded medical discourse by putting her cases of "compromised" health in the context of the local social structure and ideology and linking them with state policies since the Nasser era.
