Writing At the Margin

Writing at the Margin explores the border between medical and social problems, the boundary between health and social change. Kleinman studies the body as the mediator between individual and collective experience, finding that many health problems are less individual medical problems than interpersonal experiences of social suffering. Kleinman argues for an ethnographic approach to moral practice in medicine, and poses alternative strategies for thinking about how the social and the medical relate in the postmodern world.Kleinman, Arthur is the author of 'Writing At the Margin' with ISBN 9780520200999 and ISBN 0520200993.
