Abstract:
Latinos in the United States face serious mental health care disparities. A combination of person-level barriers, such as low levels of acculturation, stigma, negative attitudes towards mental health treatments, and limited health literacy, contribute to these inequities in mental health care. In this chapter, we review the literature on how person-level barriers impact mental health care disparities in the Latino community. We describe how a depression fotonovela, “Secret Feelings”, that integrates cultural elements from the Latino community and uses an entertainment-education approach can help address these barriers. We also discuss the practice and research implications of using “Secret Feelings” to improve mental health care in the Latino community.

Full text
Abstract:
This book demonstrates the application of African Diaspora Literacy in K–12 schools and teacher education programs. The book emerged from a four-week Fulbright-Hays Group Abroad project to Cameroon, West Africa, which was focused on African Diaspora Literacy. The project was guided by the African principle of “Ubuntu” (I am because we are). The 15-member team was comprised of eight faculty members (representing five universities—Benedict College, Michigan State University, South Carolina State University, South University, and the University of South Carolina), one community member, two K–12 administrators, and four K–12 teachers from high need schools. The inclusion of such a diverse group of participants in the Kamtok project (e.g., professors, K–12 teachers, community members) lent itself to producing rich data that captured both the intellectual scholarship and layperson’s experience with equilateral consideration. The purpose of the project was to gain firsthand knowledge, artifacts, documents, experiences, and resources to be used in the development, implementation, and dissemination of curricula to be used in K–12 schools and university classrooms to more effectively prepare educators to teach African American students. Focusing specifically on the language, history, politics, economics, religion, and cultural traditions of people in the African Diaspora (e.g, U.S., Africa, Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, Asia), this book illuminates critical information typically missing from K–12 schools and teacher education, and English curricula. Chapters are written by scholars from Cameroons as well as those from the U.S. The book represents a lovely compilation of application, theory, and research. The book explores how African Diaspora Literacy can be used to heal the endemic physical, symbolic, linguistic, curricula, pedagogical, and system violence that African American children and youth experience in schools and in society.

Abstract:
Step 2 describes three broad categories of possible goals for community arts programs: identity and sustainability; health and well-being; and human rights. Following a critical discussion of these terms, Step 2 provides examples of projects around the world that have targeted or are working toward these goals. Subsections include discussions of valuing identity, teaching children, and using media; healing, reconciliation, and rest and play; and social justice, education, literacy, and economic opportunity. Step 2 concludes with a discussion of steps to take within communities to select a goal. Throughout this section, readers are reminded that goals must emerge from and be owned by the community, not inserted from the outside.

Abstract:
Community responses to the AIDS crisis have changed traditional approaches to medicine, healthcare, health systems, and research. Earlier approaches were rooted in widespread discrimination against key affected populations who were already socially marginalized. The background of community responses, first in the United States and then in other regions, each has a special history. This chapter provides an overview of historical community responses to HIV and is written by activists from the United States, India, South Africa and Western Europe. Examples of key projects include the role of peer advocacy and treatment literacy, which have enabled people living with HIV to learn more about HIV and treatment, adherence, treatment choice, drug resistance, and pipeline research for better drugs in the future. The outcome of this advocacy is that people living with HIV have been empowered to take an active role in their healthcare. HIV advocacy also provides an example of how the international activism that has changed the face of global healthcare is rooted in similar principles developed by early HIV-positive activists and is just as relevant today.

Full text
Abstract:
Moral Realities: Medicine, Bioethics, and Mormonism articulates and applies a framework of ethical principles in the moral culture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) to an array of specific topics in bioethics, including reproductive technologies, stem-cell research, preventive medicine, vaccinations, genetic screening and editing, biomedical enhancements, organ and tissue donation, life endings in neonatal intensive care, withdrawing medical treatments, medical-assisted death, human cloning, abortion, medical marijuana, and universal health care. Moral Realities proposes that LDS understandings of medicine as a healing vocation and ethical principles and virtues of love, hospitality, covenant, justice, and moral agency can guide ethical deliberation in concrete circumstances of moral choice; mediate relationships between families, patients, and the healing professions; and present ethical criteria for assessing health care public policy. The book honors the communal moral authority of personal experience and intertwines communal experience and ecclesiastical policy positions with perspectives in professional bioethical discourse. Moral Realities expands the realm of Mormon studies to include ethics and bioethics, provides for a bioethics-literate LDS moral culture and an LDS-literate bioethics, and presents a critically reflective ethic for the LDS community, including LDS health care professionals.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the attitudes of three neoliberal business economists about the welfare state in postwar Britain. The three—John Jewkes, Arthur Shenfield, and Barry Bracewell-Milnes—had some degree of economic literacy, and each was active in neoliberal circles and critical of Britain’s welfare state in the 1960s along typical neoliberal lines. Significantly, all three provided economic advice at the heart of the British business community. This illustrates three main points. First, neoliberals were not as isolated before the 1970s as commonly presented and had good links with parts of the business community. Second, the focus on the intellectuals in the Mont Pelerin Society (MPS) distorts our understanding of the organization and the dissemination of its ideas. Third, we need to be aware of the growing number of business economists in Britain and other advanced economies after World War II and the role that they played.

Abstract:
Markets and market halls have always been more than about trade and nourishment. A detailed look at the histories of marketplaces provides evidence of the public health concerns they faced, as well as the social commotion, mobilization and, at times, unrest they hosted. This edited volume reappraises the market hall, examining both its architectural and its social and political significance. Focusing on how these buildings embodied transformations in architecture and urbanism from the mid-nineteenth century until the age of COVID-19, Mobs and Microbes situates market halls at the intersection of civic order and public health. Central to this are advances in sanitation and hygiene. These radical interventions also mediated conflicting interests. Through their rational designs, market halls intertwined government policies and regulations, which formalized, controlled and literally imposed order. Additionally, markets served as demonstration grounds for community-led mobilization efforts. With case studies spanning North America, Europe, Asia, India and Africa, this edited volume provides a global perspective on covered market halls across many disciplines, including architecture, history of art and architecture, landscape architecture, food studies and urban history.

Full text
Abstract:
This book draws on more than 25 years of experience developing and evaluating anti-stigma programs to reduce negative and unfair treatment experienced by people with a mental or substance use disorder. It builds on a previous edition, Paradigms Lost: Fighting Stigma and the Lessons Learned, that identified new approaches to stigma reduction. This volume examines the newest approaches to stigma reduction with respect to structural stigma, public stigma, and internalized stigma. The goals of anti-stigma work must be to eliminate the social inequities that people with mental and substance use disorders and their families face to promote their full and effective social participation. Awareness raising and mental health literacy are important, but they do little to change the accumulated practices of social groups and social structures that systematically disadvantage those with mental and substance use problems. The book is written with one eye to the past (what we have done well) and one to the future (what we must still do). It goes into depth in targeted areas such as healthcare, workplaces, schools, and the media. We expect that this edition will be a useful sequel to Paradigms Lost, chronicling what we have learned as a global community regarding stigma related to mental illness and substance use and stigma-reduction approaches.

Divisová, Bohdana. Medical Case Studies (Consilia medica) of the Early Modern Period. Amsterdam University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9789463723640.

Full text
Abstract:
Consilia played an important role in not only medieval but also early modern professional health literature. A literary ‘consilium’ consisted of a written statement of one particular case, including the patient's condition and disease as well as advice concerning medical treatment. In the sixteenth century, consilia literature was a common component of the practices of many eminent physicians. This is illustrated through an analysis of consilia from twenty-two different collections and anthologies by fifteen selected authors, who represent university professors, personal physicians, and urban physicians from early modern Italy, France, and German-speaking Central Europe. A closer look at nearly 7,000 consilia shows how important a link they were within the medical community. A detailed view of consilia intended for patients suffering from the ‘French disease’ reveals details about, for instance, the most common treatments for syphilis – mercury and guaiacum – alongside many other interesting and important details.

Full text
Abstract:
A properly critical medical humanities is also a historically grounded medical humanities. Such historical grounding requires taking a long cultural perspective, going beyond traditional medical history – typically the history of disease, treatment and practice – to trace the origins and development of the ideas that underpin medicine in its broadest sense – ideas concerning the most fundamental aspects of human existence: health and illness, body and mind, gender and family, care and community. Historical sources can only go so far in illuminating such topics; we must also look to other cultural texts, and in particular literary texts, which, through their imaginative worlds, provide crucial insights into cultural and intellectual attitudes, experience and creativity. Reading from a critical medical humanities perspective requires not only cultural archaeology across a range of discourses, but also putting past and present into conversation, to discover continuities and contrasts with later perspectives. Medical humanities research is illuminated by cultural and literary studies, and also brings to them new ways of seeing; the relation is dynamic. This chapter explores the ways mind, body and affect are constructed and intersect in medieval thought and literature, with a particular focus on how voice-hearing and visionary experience are portrayed and understood.

Full text
Abstract:
Interpreting sacred notions of the Hebrew Bible in a non-literal sense was part of the hermeneutical manoeuvres of Early Christian writers. They proceeded by deliteralization and metaphorization, meta-linguistic speech acts by which a word usually understood in its literal sense receives a non-literal meaning. The author develops a two-phase model of Paul’s notion of the ‘circumcision of the heart.’ First the initial values (Jewishness and ritual circumcision) are projected upon a newly created target, inwardness. Then the original value is abolished. This process can be termed a value-shift, versus similar instances which should be seen as value-extensions, the source value being preserved and extended to other realms. Corollaries of value-shift and value-extension are duty-shift and duty-extension. From a socio-religious perspective, metaphorization accompanies a widening of the religious community; it reveals itself to be a moment in the genesis of new philosophical concepts, such as inwardness as the locus of redemption.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter discusses how writing The Pilgrim’s Progress, Part II (1684) allowed Bunyan to explore areas of Christian experience that Part I did not address, especially the workings of an ideal church and the spiritual lives of women, including the issue of literacy and women’s access to the Word. Anticipating a younger and female readership for this story of Christiana, her children, and her friend Mercie, Bunyan adopts in Part II a more didactic style, replacing Part I’s emphasis on testifying to spiritual experience with frequent scenes of catechizing. Great-heart the minister creates the spiritual community in Part II and guides it through a landscape far more welcoming to pilgrims than that of Part I. Because women’s ‘burdens’ are internal, connected to their sexuality, they cannot be lost, only contained through marriage, child-bearing, and obedience to male authority.

Full text
Abstract:
My Third Ouma is a compelling book that delves into the heart of a Nama midwife's legacy. Ten-year-old Sonnetjie, entrusted to the care of Ouma Toesie, witnesses first hand the wisdom and healing hands of a traditional midwife. As Sonnetjie's mother prepares to give birth, the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a community deeply rooted in tradition. The book pays homage to the invaluable contributions of Nama midwives, whose knowledge is slowly fading away in the face of modern medicine. Conceptualised by Professor Siona O’Connell and Professor Loretta Feris as a response to early childhood literacy challenges, the book draws together Indigenous Knowledge Systems, heritage and mother-tongue learning. The story not only celebrates the enduring spirit of these women but also serves as a reminder of the importance of other ways of knowing.

Abstract:
Alice Walker, born in Eatonton, Georgia in 1944, overcame a disadvantaged sharecropping background, blindness in one eye, and the tense times of the Civil Rights Movement to become one of the world’s most respected African American writers. While attending both Spelman and Sarah Lawrence Colleges, Walker began to draw on both her personal tragedies and those of her community to write poetry, essays, short stories, and novels that would tell the virtually untold stories of oppressed African and African American women, providing readers with hope and inspiring activisim. Perhaps best known for her novel The Color Purple (1982), which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1983 and became a controversial film three years later, Walker has introduced and developed womanist theory, criticism and practice, and continues to champion the causes of women of color by encouraging their strength and liberation in her life and her writings. Literary works analyzed in this volume: The Third Life of Grange Copeland, Meridian, The Color Purple, The Temple of My Familiar, Possessing the Secret of Joy, By the Light of My Father’s Smile, The Way Forward Is With a Broken Heart, Now is the Time to Open Your Heart.
