Viac o knihe

The book delves into the intersection of religion and the globalization of medicine through extensive participant observation in the American Midwest and Madagascar. It explores a thirty-year initiative aimed at modernizing colonial-era evangelism within a transnational Christian medical aid program. By examining these "conversionary sites," the author highlights the complex dynamics of global inequality, religious fellowship, and postcolonial influences, offering a nuanced critique of the interplay between religion, capitalism, and humanitarian aid.
