Development without Institutions: Ersatz Medicine and the Politics of Everyday Life in Rural North India
Author(s)Pinto, Sarah
AbstractThe slippery shape of institutional authority in the Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh in India is addressed and the complexities of medical practices in rural locales by considering persons who work on the margins of different fields are explored. An attempt is made to explore what the practitioners and their work suggest about the imagination of institutions in rural India and the kinds of power this invokes.
