- This book is the culmination of a sustained research effort that began with an ESRC grant in 2011. The book showcases extended and complex findings developed from interdisciplinary work that covered three continents. The book’s critical and theoretical insights are based on primary data consisting of 206 qualitative interviews and fieldwork observations. These data were difficult to access and required detailed preparatory work and development of secure relationships with agents, surgeons and patients. Researchers accessed most interviewees at the point of surgery--in Thailand, Malaysia, the Czech Republic, Tunisia, Australia and the UK.
