Description

The Experiment Must Continue: A New Perspective on Medical Research in East Africa. This ethnographic history explores medical experimentation in East Africa from 1940 to 2014, combining public health and historical expertise to shed light on the complexities of research ethics. Melissa Graboyes examines the experiences of both researchers and subjects, revealing how local perceptions of research differed from those of the interveners. Through case studies of failed attempts to eliminate tropical diseases and ongoing malaria and HIV/AIDS research, Graboyes challenges dominant ideas of consent, participation, and exploitation. By exploring the intersection of medical experimentation and social context, she offers a nuanced understanding of the hybrid ethical form that emerged in East Africa. This book is relevant for scholars and anyone interested in the role of medicine in society, offering a fresh perspective on a critical topic with global implications.
