Dealing with narratives of vulnerable populations, this book looks at how they deal with dimensions of their social life, especially in regards to health. 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. 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.

Industry Reviews

"This book demonstrates that the anthropological approach is uniquely suited to uncovering how people live their lives and see their world without imposing judgment... Recommended." * Choice

"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." * Kwamina Panford, Northeastern University

"The many different stories recount the daily unbearable experiences of people in this community. Each single experience reported in this book represents tens of thousands of closely related cases in the US and abroad." * Seth Antwi Ofori, University of Ghana

"The editors have compiled a stimulating and thought-provoking collection of narratives ... Most importantly they provide context to assist readers in understanding the different narratives." * Ronald P. Schaefer, Southern Illinois University
