Serial title, monograph or event: | Anthropology in Action | Volume: | 26 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | This analysis of over a century of public health campaigns against human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) in Angola aims to unravel the role of (utopian) dreams in global health. A ention to the emergence and use of concepts such as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and ideas about elimination or eradication highlights how these concepts and utopian dreams are instrumental for the advancement of particular agendas in an ever-shiing fi eld of global health. The article shows how specifi c representations of the elimination and eradication of diseases, framed over a century ago, continue to push Western views and politics of care onto others. This analysis generates insight into how global health and its politics of power functioned in Angola during colonialism and post-independence. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/101616 | ISSN: | 0967-201X 1752-2285 |
