520    "This fascinating and most timely critical medical 
       anthropology study successfully binds two still emergent 
       areas of contemporary anthropological research in the 
       global world: the nature and significant impact of 
       multinational pharmaceutical manufacturers on human social
       life everywhere, and the contribution of corporations to 
       the fast-paced degradation of our life support system, 
       planet Earth. Focusing on a pharmaceutically-impacted town
       on the colonized island of Puerto Rico, Dietrich ably 
       demonstrates the value of ethnography carried out in small
       places in framing the large issues facing humanity."--
       Merrill Singer, University of Connecticut The production 
       of pharmaceuticals is among the most profitable industries
       on the planet. Drug companies produce chemical substances 
       that can save, extend, or substantially improve the 
       quality of human life. However, even as the companies 
       present themselves publicly as health and environmental 
       stewards, their factories are a significant source of air 
       and water pollution--toxic to people and the environment. 
       In Puerto Rico, the pharmaceutical industry is the 
       backbone of the island's economy: in one small town alone,
       there are over a dozen drug factories representing five 
       multinationals, the highest concentration per capita of 
       such factories in the world. It is a place where the 
       enforcement of environmental regulations and the public 
       trust they ensure are often violated in the name of 
       economic development. The Drug Company Next Door unites 
       the concerns of critical medical anthropology with those 
       of political ecology, investigating the multi-faceted role
       of pharmaceutical corporations as polluters, economic 
       providers, and social actors. Rather than simply 
       demonizing the drug companies, the volume explores the 
       dynamics involved in their interactions with the local 
       community and discusses the strategies used by both 
       individuals and community groups to deal with the 
       consequences of pollution. The Drug Company Next Door puts
       a human face on a growing set of problems for communities 
       around the world. Accessible and engaging, the book 
       encourages readers to think critically about the role of 
       corporations in everyday life, health, and culture. Alexa 
       S. Dietrich is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at 
       Wagner College."--|cProvided by publisher.
