“"...A unique text and a brilliant intervention in two theoretical fields, as well as an important contribution to post-socialist ethnography. The author's incisive revelation is that ethnographers cannot forever segregate the economic and the bio-medical. ...A such, it is a highly important contribution to the field, and an exciting wotk from a new voice."”
— Gustav Peebles, Author of The Euro and Its Rivals: Currency and the Construction of a Transnational City
“For scholars working on health and medicine across any number of disciplines, subfields, and regions, this book can serve as an example of how to make use of these conceptual categories without being beholden to them. Perhaps most of all, the book provides a service by moving beyond the emphasis on ethnicity that has dominated most academic work on the Balkans since the 1990s.”
