Johns Hopkins University Press Malaria
Book SynopsisIn addition Malaria: Poverty, Race, and Public Health in the United States argues that malaria control was central to the evolution of local and federal intervention in public health, and demonstrates the complex interaction between poverty, race, and geography in determining the fate of malaria.Trade ReviewThis is a fresh (and plausible) explanation for the disappearance of another southern germ of laziness, and it is presented in a study that does a fine job of packaging its findings within a richly documented historical context. -- Kenneth F. Kiple Journal of Southern History Margaret Humphrey's monograph on malaria in America has a strong storyline and a well-articulated thesis. It combines modern knowledge of malaria transmission and the genetic basis of resistance with a sound appreciation of the social, geographical and cultural nuances of the disease in American history. -- W.F. Bynum Times Literary Supplement A fascinating story of the spread of malaria through the USA following its introduction in the 17th century, through its greatest geographical coverage in the 19th century. -- Allan Saul Nature Medicine The main purpose of this book is to carry out an in-depth dialogue on the mystery of malaria and its existence in some parts of the world and disappearance in another based on the historical facts... The insight that [this] history provides has enormous value for global health. Doody's Health Sciences Review [ Malaria] is a masterpiece and is recommended reading for anyone involved in or interested in health care. -- Ronald C.HamdyMDFRCPFACP Southern Medical Journal A complex and fascinating story of the social history of malaria. -- Elizabeth Fee American Historical Review Gracefully written, perceptive, and well-documented, it will make historians of medicine, public health, and the social history of the American South grateful for her efforts.

Rutgers University Press Obesity Cultural and Biocultural Perspectives Studies in Medical Anthropology
Book SynopsisIn a world now filled with more people who are overweight than underweight, public health and medical perspectives paint obesity as a catastrophic epidemic that threatens to overwhelm health systems and undermine life expectancies globally. In many societies, being obese also creates profound personal suffering because it is so culturally stigmatized. Yet despite loud messages about the health and social costs of being obese, weight gain is a seemingly universal aspect of the modern human condition. Grounded in a holistic anthropological approach and using a range of ethnographic and ecological case studies, Obesity shows that the human tendency to become and stay fat makes perfect sense in terms of evolved human inclinations and the physical and social realities of modern life. Drawing on her own fieldwork in the rural United States, Mexico, and the Pacific Islands over the last two decades, Alexandra A. Brewis addresses such critical questions as why obesity is defined as a problemTrade Review"Around the globe, there are more overweight than underweight people, and trends indicate that obesity is reaching epidemic toward pandemic proportions. Drawing on extensive original research, integrating previous scholarship, and using a bio-cultural perspective, Brewis offers a wide-ranging exploration of obesity as a contemporary public health and social issue. Highly recommended." * Choice *"Brewis provides a much-needed and insightful analysis of the current obesity 'epidemic' and the role that culture plays in the causes and consequences of having a fat body. Brewis provides a great resource for teaching about a seemingly intractable issue in public health nutrition." -- Andrea Wiley * Indiana University, Bloomington *"This book provides the reader with a unique opportunity to examine obesity through cultural lenses." * Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences *"Obesity is well written in a clear and jargon-free style. Brewis's expertise in this are shines through and I learned many new things about something I have been studying closely for over a decade." -- John Speakman * American Journal of Human Biology *Table of ContentsList of FiguresList of TablesPrefaceAcknowledgements1 Introduction: The Problem of Obesity2 Defining Obesioty3 Obesity and Human Adaptation4 The Distribution of Risk5 Culture and Body Ideals6 Big-Body Symbolism, Meanings, and Norms7 Conclusion: The Big PictureAppendix A: Global Rates of Overweight and ObesityAppendix B: Body Mass Index TablesAppendix C: Tools for the Comparative Study of Body ImageAppendix D: Using Cultural Consensus Alaysis to Understand Obesity Norms ReferencesIndex

MW - Rutgers University Press Comrades in Health US Health Internationalists Abroad and at Home Critical Issues in Health and Medicine Paperback
Book SynopsisBrings together a group of professionals and activists whose lives have been dedicated to health internationalism. By presenting a combination of historical accounts and first-hand reflections, this collection of essays draws attention to the longstanding international activities of the American health left and the lessons they brought home.Trade Review"Everybody who cares about health and social justice, internationally and in the U.S., should read this book!" -- Amy Goodman * host of Democracy Now! and 2008 winner Right Livelihood Award *"This wonderful book offers a deeply reflective look at the motivations, ideology, and outcomes of this critical work, telling the stories of true heroes and heroines of American medicine and public health. It is must reading for anyone contemplating international health activism today." -- Dr. David Himmelstein and Dr. Steffie Woolhandler * cofounders, Physicians for a National Health Program *"Comrades in Health is a pioneering effort, a major addition to the study of global public health, and a new perspective on U.S. domestic health policy." -- Gerald M. Oppenheimer * coauthor of Shattered Dreams? An Oral History of the South African AIDS Epidemic *"Birn and Brown describe the history of international efforts to improve the health of vulnerable populations as an inherently sociopolitical, leftist, and often communist, endeavor. [The editors] create a coherent picture of the development of international health efforts...and will be an interesting read for more advanced students of public health and political science. Recommended." * Choice *"The most haunting lesson in this fine book stems from its call for an ethic of social consciousness in health care work. In this view, the struggle of justice for all is integral to the improvement of individual health outcomes, and it is as fraught with uncertainty and unintended consequences as is the treatment of individual illness. Birn, Brown and their colleagues update an old social medicine lesson that makes this struggle, with its risks, penuries and triumphs, a core professional duty instead of merely a morally praiseworthy individual pursuit." * Global Public Health *"a captivating journey through the political, economic, and social turmoil that embroiled global health care during the 20th century." * Nursing History Review *"Perhaps the most interesting lesson in Comrades in Health is in showing how the very term socialised medicine came to be such an imagined existential threat to the US body politic." * Lancet *"Comrades in Health is important reading for those interested in the global debate surrounding the post-2015 global developmental agenda and future reform of the UN-centric humanitarian system required to address 21st-century human security and social justice." * Canadian Bulletin of Medical History *Table of ContentsList of FiguresForeword AcknowledgmentsPart I1.
