Giving Blood: The Institutional Making Of Altruism (Routledge Studies In The Sociology Of Health And Illness)

Giving Blood represents a new agenda for blood donation research. It explores the diverse historical and contemporary undercurrents that shape how blood donation takes place, and the social meanings that people attribute to the act of giving blood. Organised in three parts, the book's chapters turn our attention to key political factors that have shaped blood collection and transfusion practices worldwide.
