Examines the reality of malaria and its effects on marginalised communities in Tanzania. Vinay R. Kamat presents an ethnographic analysis of the shifting global discourses and practices surrounding malaria control and their impact on the people of Tanzania. Malaria control, according to Kamat, has become increasingly medicalised, a trend that over emphasises pharmaceutical interventions while neglecting the social, political, and economic conditions central to Africa's malaria problem.
