An Ethnography of Stress: The Social Determinants of Health in Aboriginal Australia (Culture, Mind and Society)

An Ethnography of Stress: The Social Determinants of Health in Aboriginal Australia (Culture, Mind and Society)
This book examines the global issue of health inequality through an in-depth look at a remote Australian Aboriginal community characterized by a degree of premature morbidity and mortality similar to that in other disadvantaged populations. Its synthesis of cognitive anthropology with frameworks drawn from epidemiology, evolutionary theory, and social, psychological and biological sciences illuminates the actions, emotions and stresses of daily life. While this analysis implicates structures and processes of inequality in the genesis of ill health, its focus remains on the people who suffer, grieve and live with the dilemmas of an intercultural life.
