Abstract:
Treatment of mental illness differs between races. Many reports, investigations, public enquiries and surveys have been conducted documenting differences in referral to specialist mental health services, admission rates to hospital, detention under the Mental Health Act and seclusion whilst in hospital. These differences are particularly marked for black patients compared with white. Concerns about these differences, in addition to research (predominantly from the United States) showing differences in prescribing of antipsychotics for ethnic minorities, have prompted United Kingdom studies inv

Abstract:
Error theorists about race face a challenge from the occurrence of diseases and other health ailments that, appear, to be tracked by groups that are carved out by racial terms. If race does indeed allow us to make useful medical distinctions, then it would seem foolish or even a form of medical injustice to deny its reality. This paper provides a response to the stated challenge. First, by primarily using the work of Anthony Appiah, I will describe the error theorist position and its arguments for the non-reality of race. From here, I demonstrate the extent to which medical professionals grant

Abstract:
This thesis reviews the anthropological approaches to the study of the ethnic minorities in Southwest China. It sets out to demonstrate the limitations engendered by studies focusing on the process of ethnicity and the relative absence of 'ordinary local peasants' (villagers not involved in the dialogue of ethnicity) in anthropological research of villages in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Furthermore, this paper reveals the need for in-depth local studies in order to understand the impact of ethnic tourism on local identity construction.

Despite evidence that the representation of minority-ethnic employees in the workforce is improving, many are concentrated at lower organisational levels and experience more difficulties reaching senior positions than their majority-ethnic (i.e. white) colleagues (ONS, 2011).

The establishment of the modern Ethiopian empire state in the nineteenth century, and the processes of centralisation and bureaucratisation which consolidated it in the mid twentieth, provide a backdrop to an emerging concern with ‘regionalism’ amongst political circles in the 1960s and 1970s.

High blood pressure (hypertension) shares many of these risk factors. However, much of the variance/risk in both conditions cannot be explained.

The foci of comparison are the homogenization process of the nation states in ethnic terms, the extent of mass movements, the degree of centrality of the state in shaping the sociopolitical life, and t

Similarly, Oyserman's (2007) model of identity-based motivation argues that any group identity can shape behavior through a process of identity infusion such that group members are motivated to behave in ways that are in-group identity-infused and equally avoid behaviors that are out-group id

This thesis investigates the extent to which the Norman gens was understood by contemporaries to share agreed features of ethnic identity. The term Normanitas, associated with significant Latin descriptive traits, including ferox, ferus, bellicosus, audax, strennus, astutus and callidus, has been in use since the 1980s, when scholars identified a shared Norman ethnic identity dispersed across eleventh- and twelfth-century Europe. However, work on Normanitas fails to take into account insights from more recent research, led by Walter Pohl, on the construction of early medieval ethnic identity.

Conflict over territory is a major concern to scholars and policymakers, and much of conflict over territory is driven by the issues that make territory more or less attractive, or salient, to states. I examine the impact that tangible and intangible issue salience has on territorial claims, and in particular, how it drives both conflict and conflict escalation. I argue that intangible issues, such as ethnic or religious kin, plays a greater role in driving more severe forms of armed conflict and conflict escalation, compared to tangible factors such as natural resources.
