Abstract

Chee's histories of animal medicines should change how we think about both China's wildlife trade and the TCM sector. Although previous studies have shown how TCM is a modern construction, essentially reinvented in competition with "Western" medicine,[2] Chee analyzes the industrial character of this modernization in a fundamentally new way.
