- The product of seven years of research, this book meets the criteria of extended scale and scope. Empirically, the book draws on primary material that was complex to access: the author conducted original ethnographic research at a pharmaceutical company in South Africa, and traced the company’s global networks with additional research with drug discovery scientists in the United States and United Kingdom. Conceptually, the book draws on and contributes to vital theoretical concerns in the interdisciplinary social and historical studies of postcolonial science and technology, as well as additional scholarly domains ranging from philosophy of chemistry to critical global health.
