Abstract

This chapter explores the broad topic of contested claims and individual bodies at the nexus of health and state policy. It focuses on three current interrelated issues-epidemic disease, population growth, and endemic wars-and pays particular attention to the impact of political and structural violence on health. These themes are universal and involve the world system, but the concern here is with how they play out in contemporary Africa.
