摘要

卫生主权——主张对文化上和生态上适当的药物的权利以及社区组织自己的卫生保健的能力——是拉斯塔法里运动的一个生物政治目标。我们研究了南伦敦的拉斯塔法里草药师是如何制定健康主权的，以及这些治疗师对英国健康的贡献，特别是对被“敌对环境”移民政策剥夺公民权的移民。通过对“苦药”和“根补药”的民族志数据，我们展示了治疗师和他们的客户如何使用草药来实现运动的关键政治和精神目标，以及个人治疗。

Cleansing and Building in Rastafari Healing in London: Health Sovereignty for a Hostile Environment.

Health sovereignty - the assertion of rights to culturally and ecologically appropriate medicines and the ability of communities to structure their own healthcare - is a biopolitical goal of the Rastafari movement. We examine how health sovereignty is enacted by Rastafari herbalists in south London and the contributions these healers make to health in the UK, particularly for migrants disenfranchised by "hostile environment" immigration policies. Using ethnographic data on "bitters" and "roots tonics" we show how herbal medicines are used by healers and their clientele to achieve key political and spiritual aims of the movement, as well as personal healing.

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
