Disorder and Diagnosis: Health and the Politics of Everyday Life in Modern Arabia

This book offers a history of public health in the Persian Gulf from the late nineteenth century until the 1973 oil boom. Foregrounding the everyday practices of Gulf residents, Goffman demonstrates how the Gulf and its Arabian hinterland served as a buffer zone between ""diseased"" India and white Europe.
