Excluded from Reciprocity: Tuberculosis, conspicuous consumption, and the medicalisation of poverty”
I was in Camau with Paul when he did his fieldwork in examining social and cultural aspects of tuberculosis along the bigger project of tuberculosis screening by Woolcock Institute using Gene Expert.
I was there for 6 months. Conducting many interviews as well as going from many villages in Nam Can, U Minh as well as Dat Mui. Paul was so moved by the guy he is talking about in this book chapter. It is nice to listen about it again, yet it is a good material for those who would like to know what it would look like for a poor man living in Vietnam when he has tuberculosis.
