Africanizing Oncology: Creativity, Crisis, and Cancer in Uganda Mika Marissa
An innovative contemporary history that blends insights from a variety of disciplines to highlight how a storied African cancer institute has shaped lives and identities in postcolonial Uganda.Over the past decade, an increasingly visible crisis of cancer in Uganda has made local and international headlines.
