Caring in Context: An Ethnography of Cancer Nursing in India

Drawing on ethnographic research conducted by an American nurse, Caring in Context is an exploration of how most of the world experiences cancer, and how nurses bear witness and respond to the suffering of others when they have little means to help - or for complex reasons, choose not to.
