Money be man
door Senah
€ 12,39
Health care policy should be based on understanding of what takes place at the community level. This study explores how people in a coastal village in Ghana perceive and use modern pharmaceuticals. In this G speaking community, 35 kilometers from the capital, there are no proper health care facilities. Most people purchase their medicines in two drugstores which sell products that they are not supposed to sell according to government rules. The author focuses on local perceptions of anatomy and etiology and on people's health expenditure. His book is a search for- the social and cultural basis of the popularity of pharmaceuticals. "Money be man", an inscription on a local lorry, captures the villagers' main concern: without money one cannot remain healthy.

Tekstsociologie. Over de talige constructie van de sociale werkelijkheid
door Gerard Nijhof
€ 22,50
Wij doen veel met taal. We denken er in, praten er mee en schrijven er in. Maar we doen er nog meer mee. We maken er ook onze wereld mee. We stellen ons de wereld niet alleen in taal voor, we handelen ook naar die voorstelling. Wat we denken dat er is, daarnaar handelen we. Met taal omschrijven we onze sociale werkelijkheid. Met die werkelijkheid houdt de sociologie zich bezig. Dit boek gaat over die wonderlijke combinatie: taal & sociologiebeoefening.
Gerhard Nijhof is hoogleraar Medische Sociologie aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en o.a de auteur van Ziekenwerk. Een kleine sociologie van alledaags ziekenleven.

Bridges & Watersheds. A narrative analysis of watermanagement in England, Wales and the Netherlands
door Willemijn Dicke
€ 22,50
What is good water management, if we take scarcity of water, combined with climate change, the rise of sea level and a growing world population into account? Can water management be privatized? Or should the role and the position of the nation state even be strengthened to protect the environment and the citizens? Dicke has conducted a narrative analysis of water management in England, Wales and the Netherlands. Hundred years ago, water used to be a national public good. The nation state was pivotal in water management. Nowadays, water is considered to be part of a global water system. This view transforms water from a national to a global public good. As a result, the nation state is not the only actor, which has a say in the management of this global public good. This transformation places the public private divide once again at the center of attention.
The present debate about privatization, both in England and in the Netherlands, is incomplete. It does not take all dimensions of the public private divide into account. Dicke suggests that both visibility (transparency) and collectivity (water belongs to us all) should be considered. The issue is not whether water management is provided by a nation state or not. The issue should be whether the dimensions of collectivity and visibility are well balanced. This can only be achieved through a restoration of the link between water and society.
