Questioning Misfortune: The Pragmatics of Uncertainty in Eastern Uganda
ISBN: 9780521595582 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study of adversity and its social causes in rural Uganda considers how people deal with life's uncertainties--sickness, suffering, marital problems, failure, and death. Divination may identify causes of misfortune, ranging from ancestors and spirits to sorcerers. Sufferers and their families will then try out a variety of remedial measures, including pharmaceuticals, sorcery substances, and sacrifices. But remedies often fail, and doubt and uncertainty persist. The peril of AIDS can also be understood in terms of the existing pattern of uncertainty.

Second Chances: Surviving AIDS in Uganda
ISBN: 9780822357957 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the first decade of this millennium, many thousands of people in Uganda who otherwise would have died from AIDS got second chances at life. A massive global health intervention, the scaling up of antiretroviral therapy (ART), saved them and created a generation of people who learned to live with treatment. As clients they joined programs that offered free antiretroviral medicine and encouraged "positive living." Because ART is not a cure but a lifelong treatment regime, its consequences are far-reaching for society, families, and individuals. Drawing on personal accounts and a broad...

ISBN: 9780520083622 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Spurred by the United Nation's International Decade for Disabled Persons and medical anthropology's coming of age, anthropologists have recently begun to explore the effects of culture on the lives of the mentally and physically impaired. This major collection of essays both reframes disability in terms of social processes and offers for the first time a global, multicultural perspective on the subject. Using research undertaken in a wide variety of settings--from a longhouse in central Borneo to a community of Turkish immigrants in Stockholm--contributors explore the significance of mental,...
