Ebook ARS ; Antropologi Kesehatan : Critical Medical Anthropology Merrill Singer Hispanic Health Council and Hans Baer University of Arkansas at Little Rock
This book, the culmination of over ten years of shared work by the authors, seeks to contribute to the effort to re-orient medical anthropology by means of a political economic contextualization of its field of study and application, and by way of a re-focus on power and inequality as central explanatory factors. In this volume, we have pulled together in one place many of the papers we have written as part of the effort to build a critical medical anthropology. All of these have been updated and in some cases considerably expanded. Through this effort we hope to offer a work that will clearly lay out the perspective and work of critical medical anthropology. While it is our hope that this book will be of interest to many anthropologists as well as other social scientists, health care providers, and public health professionals (including those who will find much to disagree with in it), we have written this book with a special concern that it be of use to undergraduate and graduate students. It is the interest of these students in becoming part of the effort to build a critical approach, especially students in medical anthropology programs around the country, that has offered the greatest gratification to us over the years. Some of these students we have gotten to know well, others we have met only briefly at conferences, forums, and campus lectures. When they tell us the impact critical medical anthropology has had on their lives and their careers, we feel that we already have achieved our objective.
