Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The study of health disparities has emerged as an important theme in public health and the social sciences, and efforts to eliminate health disparities are a major thrust of governments and nongovernmental organizations in the US and abroad. Initially, much work focused on identifying disparities with less emphasis on the contexts that create these disparities. An important shift over the past two decades has been the recognition that health disparities have their roots in social and economic inequalities. Biocultural anthropologists have been addressing issues of health inequities for decades in multiple environments and ethnographic contexts and have increasingly expanded their approaches to more directly focus on the important relationships between inequalities and health in global contexts. These more critical biocultural approaches to health have much to offer studies of health disparities by exploring the contexts of inequality and the embodied processes linking inequalities to biology and health in global-local contexts, demonstrating how large-scale forces and local-level lived realities 'get under the skin.' The papers collected here make theoretical, methodological and applied contributions, employing biocultural approaches to address inequalities and health disparities in a range of cultural contexts and, by exploring multiple dimensions of poverty and inequality, of food insecurity, health transitions, and the growing problems of global obesity and diabetes. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardbound. Zustand: As New. New. Globalization has affected a change across the regions of the world and India is no exception. The national economy has become far more integrated with the global economy now. However there are large parts of the underdeveloped regions that suffer from endemic underdevelopment. The North Eastern Region in one such region. The relevance of globalisation in the context of the North Eastern Region of India has additional implications in terms of social and political integration. the most important characteristic of the North Eastern Region is that all the constituent units (States) are relatively closed ethnic groups. All the states in the region share porous international border. Consequently both product and factor markets in these states have some international dimension. Given the socioeconomic and geopolitical dimensions in the region the prevailing pattern of development in these states has also culminated in the form of social unrest and degradation of economic values. This clearly implies that the development policies and programmes have fallen short of meeting the social and economic aspirations of the indigenous population in the region. In this context the question that arises is how the forces of globalization and economic growth could be combined together to address the implicit and most relevant questions associated with migration unemployment and development of trading activities in the perspective of North Eastern Region of India. This volume argues for a more perceptive sensitive assessment of the development needs of the region. There is a need to identify and recognize the most critical and appropriate strategy required for the region. This volume highlights the key issues which remain as challenges for the future development. Poverty inequality and deprivation remain entrenched in the backwardness and remoteness of the region despite sixty years of India's independence. Further marginalization and peripheralisation of the communities from this region will not augur for the nation state. The book is expected to be a valuable addition to the rather scanty literature on these contemporary economic issues with reference to North Eastern Region of India.
