Enduring Cancer: Life, Death, and Diagnosis in Delhi

Dwaipayan Banerjee

4.9/5 (23559 ratings)

Description:In Enduring Cancer Dwaipayan Banerjee explores the efforts of Delhi's urban poor to create a livable life with cancer as they negotiate an over-extended health system unequipped to respond to the disease. Due to long wait times, most of the urban poor do not receive a cancer diagnosis until it is too late to effectively treat the disease. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in alongside the city's largest cancer care NGO and at India's premier public health hospital, Banerjee describes how for these patients, a cancer diagnosis is often the latest and most serious in a long series of infrastructural failures. In the wake of these failures, Banerjee tracks how the disease then distributes itself across networks of social relations, testing them for strength and vulnerability. Banerjee demonstrates how living with and alongside cancer is to be newly awakened to the fragility of social ties, some already made brittle by past histories, and others that are retested for their capacity to support.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
