Blood donation, a problematic modernity

This book is an exposé of the logics underlying the motivations of blood donation in Senegalese universities. It is a work through which we seek to understand modern blood donation from the perspective of the socio-anthropology of donation. Modern blood donation transcends the medical dimension insofar as it involves social, cultural, religious and economic logics.
