"In this book, I have described significant patterns in the life histories and emotional responses of cancer patients, which suggested to me the notion of a “Cancer Personality”; and then I came to know where the real “Cancer” in our society is. There should be a certain “resonance” between therapist and patient as a decisive factor in psychotherapy which triggers the natural healing process. Thus my basic interest is in “paranormal phenomena” while dealing with cancer and heart patients simply because evolution in ‘Biology’ is outdated, now the talk is about ‘evolution of consciousness’. Changing the patient’s belief system about cancer and the belief systems of the patient and the physician are crucial to the success of the therapy and can be used effectively to support the patient’s potential for selfhealing."
This volume of diverse contributions revisits the European religious construction of the Indian Other. In their attempt to identify their European Self, missionaries from Germany constructed India as their Other and archived such constructions.

These narratives, however, provide readers (for whose eyes they were not meant originally) with spaces to locate their own past and to identify their own Self.

In Enduring Cancer Dwaipayan Banerjee explores the efforts of Delhi's urban poor to create a livable life with cancer as patients and families negotiate an overextended health system unequipped to respond to the disease. Owing to long wait times, most urban poor cancer patients do not receive a diagnosis until it is too late to treat the disease effectively. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in the city's largest cancer care NGO and at India's premier public health hospital, Banerjee describes how, for these patients, a cancer diagnosis is often the latest and most serious in a long series of infrastructural failures. In the wake of these failures, Banerjee tracks how the disease then distributes itself across networks of social relations, testing these networks for strength and vulnerability. Banerjee demonstrates how living with and alongside cancer is to be newly awakened to the fragility of social ties, some already made brittle by past histories, and others that are retested for their capacity to support.
