Excerpt from A Narrative of the Most Remarkable Particulars in the Life of James Albert Ukawsaw Gronniosaw, an African Prince, as Related by Himself Ihad, from my infancy, a curious turn of mind. Was more grave and reserved in my disposition than either of my brothers and sisters. I often teased them with ques tions they could not answer; for Which reason they dis liked me, as they supposed that I was either foolish, or insane. 'twas certain that Iwas, at times, very nu happy in myself: it being strongly impressed on my mind, that there was some great man of power, which resided above the sun, moon and stars, the objects of our worship. My dear indulgent mother would bear more with me than any of my friends beside - I often raised my hands to heaven, and asked her who lived there? Was much dissatisfied when she told me the sun, moon, and stars. Being persuaded, in my own mind, that there must be some superior powan.-i was fre quently lost in wonder at the works of the creation: was afraid, uneasy, and restless, but could not tell for what. I wanted to be informed of things that no per son could tell me and was always dissatisfied. These wonderful impressions begun in my childhood, and followed me continually till I left my parents, which affords me matter of admiration and thankfulness.

Making and Unmaking Public Health in Africa
Author: Ruth J. Prince
Publisher: Ohio University Press
ISBN: 0821444662
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Africa has emerged as a prime arena of global health interventions that focus on particular diseases and health emergencies. These are framed increasingly in terms of international concerns about security, human rights, and humanitarian crisis. This presents a stark contrast to the 1960s and ‘70s, when many newly independent African governments pursued the vision of public health “for all,” of comprehensive health care services directed by the state with support from foreign donors. These initiatives often failed, undermined by international politics, structural adjustment, and neoliberal policies, and by African states themselves. Yet their traces remain in contemporary expectations of and yearnings for a more robust public health. This volume explores how medical professionals and patients, government officials, and ordinary citizens approach questions of public health as they navigate contemporary landscapes of NGOs and transnational projects, faltering state services, and expanding privatization. Its contributors analyze the relations between the public and the private providers of public health, from the state to new global biopolitical formations of political institutions, markets, human populations, and health. Tensions and ambiguities animate these complex relationships, suggesting that the question of what public health actually is in Africa cannot be taken for granted. Offering historical and ethnographic analyses, the volume develops an anthropology of public health in Africa. Contributors:Hannah Brown, P. Wenzel Geissler, Murray Last, Rebecca Marsland, Lotte Meinert, Benson A. Mulemi, Ruth J. Prince, Noémi Tousignant, and Susan Reynolds Whyte
