Résumé

Mixed Medicineis a rich, strongly argued work that uses medicine as a window onto the cultural interaction between Cambodian society and French colonial rule during the period from the end of the nineteenth century to the end of World War II. Sokhieng Au analyses how, during these fifty years, French medicine, with all its epistemic complexities, changes, and contradictions were understood, dealt with, and largely ignored by the Cambodians.
