In Inflamed, physician Rupa Marya and scholar Raj Patel use the concept of in­flammation to probe the many ills cur­rently plaguing humanity and the planet. The text moves uneasily between inflam­mation as a cause of illness, inflamma­tion as a signal that something is wrong, and inflammation as a framework for examining European and Ameri­can colonialism, which Marya and Patel consider the root cause of contemporary inequities.

超越西医的范式

在Inflamed 中，医生 Rupa Marya 和学者 Raj Patel 使用炎症的概念来探索目前困扰人类和地球的许多疾病。文本在炎症作为疾病的原因、炎症作为出现问题的信号以及炎症作为研究欧洲和美国殖民主义的框架之间不安地移动，玛丽亚和帕特尔认为这是当代不平等的根本原因。
