Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

We are forever indebted to David H. DeJong for not only producing a valuable book on the history of Indian health but for his gift of scholarship [which] also serves as a critical reminder on why innumerable health disparities continue to haunt the health of contemporary American Indians and Alaska Natives. -- Jennie Joe, University of Arizona

Reseña del editor:

'If You Knew the Conditions' examines the inadequacies of the healthcare provided to American Indians by the Indian Medical Service. DeJong argues that, while Congress and the Indian Service had a responsibility to provide meaningful and relevant medical services to American Indians, parsimonious appropriations and indifference to American Indian conceptions of well-being limited the effectiveness of Indian medical services.
