Baraka Books Scandinavian Common Sense: Policies to Tackle
Book SynopsisAt a time when austerity is claimed by some to be the only answer to today’s economic woes, a close look at the best practices used in Scandinavia is edifying. Decision makers everywhere dispose of ample evidence showing that social determinants have an impact on health and wellbeing. Yet governments develop policies that diverge enormously. Scandinavian countries are often cited as models for their egalitarian social and health policies but are also known to have thriving economies where the gap dividing rich from poor is smaller than elsewhere. Despite quasi mythic status, these policies aimed to combat inequalities in health are neither well known or understood. Policies discussed in Scandinavian Common Sense include education, housing, conciliation of work and family life, daycare, sustainable development and more. For these policies to be part of political debate, be it in Quebec, Canada, the United States or elsewhere, they must be in the public domain. That is the purpose of this book.

Rutgers University Press Becoming Gods: Medical Training in Mexican
Book SynopsisThrough rich ethnographic narrative, Becoming Gods examines how a cohort of doctors-in-training in the Mexican city of Puebla learn to become doctors. Smith-Oka draws from compelling fieldwork, ethnography, and interviews with interns, residents, and doctors that tell the story of how medical trainees learn to wield new tools, language, and technology and how their white coat, stethoscope, and newfound technical, linguistic, and sensory skills lend them an authority that they cultivate with each practice, transforming their sense of self. Becoming Gods illustrates the messy, complex, and nuanced nature of medical training, where trainees not only have to acquire a monumental number of skills but do so against a backdrop of strict hospital hierarchy and a crumbling national medical system that deeply shape who they are.Trade Review"Vania Smith-Oka is a gifted ethnographer of the anthropology of reproduction. In Becoming Gods she reveals the embodied transformational processes through which Mexican medical trainees become good doctors, vividly depicting how doing so is hindered by the country’s profoundly resource-poor medical system and the persistence of racial, social, class, and gendered hierarchies."— Carole Browner, co-editor of Reproduction, Globalization, and the State: New Theoretical and Ethnographic Perspectiv New Books Network - New Books in Anthropology interview with Vania Smith-Oka— New Books Network - New Books in Anthropology "Seeking to learn how obstetric violence is routinized in Mexico, Smith-Oka reveals how societal inequalities shape trainee physicians’ education, embodiment, and even souls. Taking readers backstage in medical interns’ hospital work through rich and readable ethnography, she shows students’ ideals meeting realities of toxic hierarchy, discrimination and precarity as they become doctors. Essential reading for understanding how professionalization reproduces inequality!" — Emily Wentzell, author of Maturing Masculinities: Aging, Chronic Illness, and Viagra in Mexico "The ethnography is sensitively and respectfully written, yet also visceral enough to evoke a deep feeling in the reader....The weight behind Smith-Oka's arguments connecting societal everyday violence to the normalization of violence against bodies in so-called health ‘care’, is a valuable contribution to the scholarship."— Journal of Latin American and Caribbean AnthropologyTable of ContentsIllustrations Foreword by Lenore Manderson Introduction: Medicine as an (Extra)Ordinary Social Commitment 1 Women Can’t Be Trauma Doctors, and Other Gendered Stories of Medicine 2 Doctors on the March: Punishment, Violence, and Protests 3 The Soul of the Hospital: Life as an Intern 4 Internalizing and Reproducing Violence 5 The Body Learns: Transforming Skills and Practice in Obstetrics Wards Conclusion: Medicine as an Imperfect System Acknowledgments Glossary Notes References Index
