About the Book
In
Life at a Distance
, Vincent Duclos recounts the story of the Pan-African e-Network.
Branded as “India's gift to the world,” and as a “shining example of South-South cooperation,” the Pan-African e-Network was an exceptionally ambitious project. Between 2009 and 2017 the network used satellite technology to connect hospitals across Africa with hospitals in India, providing medical education and delivering health care for patients at a distance. Duclos shows how, by accelerating the flow of expertise across continents, the network also created connected enclaves, at once commercial, infrastructural, and medical.
Life at a Distance
is the story of a project that, Duclos suggests, acted as a medium for speculation about the future—about medical markets, the nation, South-South relations, and a new world order beyond Western-centric scripts.

Editorial Reviews
“With impressive detail, Robert Thompson reveals the lost and neglected stories of the Christian army chaplains, interfaith activists, relief workers, and government officials that interacted with Jewish survivors of the Holocaust.
After Belsen
provides a new, important category of witnessing that complicates existing narratives concerning Christian responses to the Holocaust.”
—Zoë Waxman, author of
Women in the Holocaust
“Thompson’s description and analysis of the growing relationship between Jewish and Christian chaplains are striking and breaks new ground. The dual focus in
After Belsen
on both the historical and theological implications of these early encounters offers new insight into that early period of post-Holocaust Jewish-Christian relations.”
—Victoria J. Barnett, author of
