Afaf Ali Nash builds on theoretical and empirical advancements in socio-medical research and language brokering to show how immigrant patients strike a balance between working cooperatively with their language brokers, or independently by overriding the language-assistance process to actuate multiple membership categories as patients, parents, and language brokerees. In doing so, they secure interactional zones that challenge the discursive asymmetries inherent in mediated doctor-patient encounters. This timely work makes it clear that impactful change in healthcare begins with successful communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Interaction of Medicine and Art: Key Concepts and Theoretical Applications\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Ethnographic Notes: The Poetics of Collecting Language-Brokering Vignettes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Patients’ Initiatives: Constructing Patienthood Cooperatively and Independently\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Asserting Patienthood through Expansion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Distribution of Mediated Talk: Who Talks and Who talks Next?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Brokering Medical Decisions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041997816151,"sku":"9781666902389","price":65.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/constructing-patienthood-in-brokered-medical-interaction-iraqi-english-encounters-9781666902389","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
