It reflects the socio-political ecologies like public hostility and stereotyping, neglect of their unique health needs, their courage to overcome adversity, and the love of family and healthcare providers in mitigating their problems. The narratives inform us about the dissimilarity between the way we speak, what we hear and how we act. American society likes to give the impression that it is listening to the plight of vulnerable populations, but the stories in this volume prove otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This book demonstrates that the anthropological approach is uniquely suited to uncovering how people live their lives and see their world without imposing judgment…\u003c\/em\u003e Recommended.” \u003cstrong\u003e• Choice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This book’s strength stems from being very interdisciplinary and providing a highly nuanced approach: using “Subjects” own voices to tell their stories is a unique methodology.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Kwamina Panford\u003c\/strong\u003e, Northeastern University\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The many different stories recount the daily unbearable experiences of people in this community.
