Markets of Sorrow, Labors of Faith: New Orleans in the Wake of Katrina
ISBN: 9780822354345 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Markets of Sorrow, Labors of Faith is an ethnographic account of long-term recovery in post-Katrina New Orleans. It is also a sobering exploration of the privatization of vital social services under market-driven governance. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, public agencies subcontracted disaster relief to private companies that turned the humanitarian work of recovery into lucrative business. These enterprises profited from the very suffering that they failed to ameliorate, producing a second-order disaster that exacerbated inequalities based on race and class and leaving residents to...

Medicine Between Science and Religion: Explorations on Tibetan Grounds
ISBN: 9781782381228 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There is a growing interest in studies that document the relationship between science and medicine - as ideas, practices, technologies and outcomes - across cultural, national, geographic terrain. Tibetan medicine is not only known as a scholarly medical tradition among other Asian medical systems, with many centuries of technological, clinical, and pharmacological innovation; it also survives today as a complex medical resource across many Asian nations - from India and Bhutan to Mongolia, Tibet (TAR) and China, Buryatia - as well as in Western Europe and the Americas.

Tigers of the Snow and Other Virtual Sherpas: An Ethnography of Himalayan Encounters
ISBN: 9780691001111 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Sherpas are portrayed by Westerners as heroic mountain guides, or "tigers of the snow," as Buddhist adepts, and as a people in touch with intimate ways of life that seem no longer available in the Western world. In this book, Vincanne Adams explores how attempts to characterize an "authentic" Sherpa are complicated by Western fascination with Sherpas and by the Sherpas' desires to live up to Western portrayals of them. Noting that diplomatic aides at world summit meetings go by the name "Sherpa," as do a van in the U.K. built for rough terrain and a software product from Silicon Valley,...

Metrics: What Counts in Global Health
ISBN: 9780822360834 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume's contributors evaluate the accomplishments, limits, and consequences of using quantitative metrics in global health. Whether analyzing maternal mortality rates, the relationships between political goals and metrics data, or the links between health outcomes and a program's fiscal support, the contributors question the ability of metrics to solve global health problems. They capture a moment when global health scholars and practitioners must evaluate the potential effectiveness and pitfalls of different metrics--even as they remain elusive and problematic.

Doctors for Democracy: Health Professionals in the Nepal Revolution
ISBN: 9780521584869 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the role of the Nepali physicians in the revolutionary changes in 1990. These doctors are trained in the Western tradition, and participate in international scientific debates, yet they have always been concerned to develop a form of medical practice that was relevant to Nepali conditions, and which could speak to local conceptions about health, and so their medical practice was always politicized. Vincanne Adams argues that the commitment of these professionals to the values of science, and to public health, was crucial in their political activity, and that ideas and...

ISBN: 9780521585484 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the role of Nepali physicians in the revolutionary changes in 1990. These Western trained doctors have always been concerned with developing a form of medical practice relevant to Nepali conditions, that speaks to local conceptions about health, and so their medical practice was always politicized. The author reveals how very fine the line is between politics and scientific medical truth claims. Her study encompasses both the modern political history of Nepal and the role of medicine in a poor, largely rural, Hindu kingdom.

Arc of Interference: Medical Anthropology for Worlds on Edge
ISBN: 9781478017097 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The radically humanistic essays in Arc of Interference refigure our sense of the real, the ethical, and the political in the face of mounting social and planetary upheavals. Creatively assembled around Arthur Kleinman’s medical anthropological arc and eschewing hegemonic modes of intervention, the essays advance the notion of a care-ful ethnographic praxis of interference. To interfere is to dislodge ideals of naturalness, blast enduring binaries (human/nonhuman, self/other, us/them), and redirect technocratic agendas while summoning relational knowledge and the will to create community....
