- Building upon agenda-setting work conducted by the authors (submitted REF2014), this is the first book-length project to explore the medical tourism industry in detail, and to do so via conceptual/analytical lenses including theories of entanglement/assemblage, conviviality and critical perspectives on neoliberalism. It includes findings, presented for the first time in this book, from over 200 interviews with patients and industry workers, as well as extended ethnographies and video diaries collected over the period (2012-2014).
