Set in Buryatia, a semi-autonomous indigenous republic in Southeastern Siberia, the book offers an ethnography of the institutionalization of Tibetan medicine, a botanically-based therapeutic practice framed as at once foreign, international, and local to Russia's Buddhist regions.\u003cbr\u003e By highlighting the cosmopolitan nature of Tibetan medicine and the culturally specific origins of biomedicine, the book shows how people in Buryatia trouble entrenched center-periphery models, complicating narratives about isolation and political marginality. Chudakova argues that a therapeutic life mediated through the practices of traditional medicines is not a last-resort response to sociopolitical abandonment but depends on a densely collective mingling of human and non-human worlds that produces new senses of rootedness, while reshaping regional and national conversations about care, history, and belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1\u003c\/b\u003e \"May All Living Beings Benefit\": Passions of Translation   25\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e \"To Search for the Solely Rational\": Engineering Tibetan Pulse Diagnosis   70\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e \"The Medicine of the Future, Now Available\": Geographies of Medical Integration   106\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e \"Treating Not the Illness, but the Patient\": Integrative Medicine for Dislocated Bodies   157\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5\u003c\/b\u003e \"We Are Not Iron That We Need Tempering\": The Contingencies of Mixing Medicines   194\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6\u003c\/b\u003e \"Nothing in the World That Couldn't Be Medicinal\": The Limits of Extraction   229\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion\u003c\/b\u003e   263\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e   281\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e   285\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography\u003c\/i\u003e   295\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e   319\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580462723352,"sku":"9780823294305","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/mixing-medicines-ecologies-of-care-in-buddhist-siberia-paperback-softback-9780823294305","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
