How do the under-resourced nations of the global South meet such challenges? In \u003ci\u003eEdges of Exposure\u003c\/i\u003e, Noémi Tousignant traces the work of toxicologists in Senegal as they have sought to warn of and remediate the presence of heavy metals and other poisons in their communities. Situating recent toxic scandals within histories of science and regulation in postcolonial Africa, Tousignant shows how decolonization and structural adjustment have impacted toxicity and toxicology research. Ultimately, as Tousignant reveals, scientists' capacity to conduct research--as determined by material working conditions, levels of public investment, and their creative but not always successful efforts to make visible the harm of toxic poisons--affects their ability to keep equipment, labs, projects, and careers going.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoémi Tousignant is Lecturer in Science and Technology Studies at University College London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 11, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52618725654835,"sku":"9780822371243","price":58.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dVBrKzhZdzlVVEs0MTlldFluL0JPUT09.webp?v=1761908262","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/edges-of-exposure-toxicology-and-the-problem-of-capacity-in-postcolonial-senegal-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
