Abstract:

Albinism is an inherited condition affecting at least 1 in 4000 people in Africa. It is thought to be more common among black Africans although it affects the entire human populations. In most African societies, albinism is regarded to be a disability and the social attitudes against albinos are characterised by lack of understanding, fear, and also of prejudice based on the appearance of albinism. There are various myths surrounding albinos such as that they are born as a punishment, that it is a curse to give birth to albinos and that albinos are immortal and that they are in fact spirits. T

Abstract:

This dissertation is an ethnography on Filu, officially certified as maroon group since 2005, with a population of 42 families of approximately 200 inhabitants. It is geographically located in Água Fria village, municipality of Santana do Mundaú – in the state of Alagoas. In this setting, my attention focused mainly on the fact of a high rate of albinism among them. This phenomenon , considered pathological by Western medicine has become, over the recent years, a distinguishing feature in the construction of their identity as quilombola population. Thus, it is a study that takes into ac

Abstract:

Albinism is an uncommon genetic condition characterised by hypopigmentation of the hair, skin and eyes; and is associated with reduced vision, nystagmus and high refractive errors. Currently there is discrepancy in the literature in terms of the most prevalent form of refractive error in albinism. This thesis investigates refractive development in children with albinism. As nystagmus is a common feature of albinism, a group of children with Idiopathic Infantile Nystagmus (IIN) were also recruited in order to examine the effects of nystagmus on vision and refractive error.

Abstract:

This research charts the long cultural trajectory of albinism from early modern travel encounters and Enlightenment exhibitions to medical classification and biological experimentation. It argues the whiteness of albinism functioned as a visible provocation to thinkers involved in work crucial to major conceptual developments in western science and medicine. It stresses this rare complexion was a prism through which medical and scientific researchers studied human variation, disease and inheritance. It examines how albinism paralleled a broader historical production of modern racial and pathol
