An Anthropology of Global Immunization explores some of the most pressing vaccine concerns of our time, from HPV to COVID-19, HIV and beyond. This edited collection develops a unique anthropological response to the question of global immunization, addressing issues from vaccine hesitancy and conspiracy theories to local biopolitics. The global perspectives in this volume are bound together by critical anthropological themes of nationalism, governance and local biosocial realities. The collection lays a critical foundation to understand vaccine development, implementation and public health policy.
“This volume tracks the fraying and fractious intersections between governmental policy, material politics of biomedical innovation and public health, providing a compelling analysis that integrates a sharp attention to political economy with granular anthropological accounts of lived experience of vaccine campaigns.” • Ann H. Kelly, University of Oxford
