Abstract:

Ethnic differences in breast cancer survival have been a long-standing concern. The objective of this article is to present relevant studies for all major US racial/ethnic groups including African–Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Japanese–Americans and Native Hawaiians, and to discuss underlying causes of disparity, In comparison to Caucasian women, African–American women continue to experience the poorest breast cancer–specific survival of all ethnic groups in the USA. The prognosis for Latinos, Native Hawaiians and Native Americans is intermediate, better than for African–Americans but

Abstract:

The present study sought cross-cultural replication of studies reporting positive correlations for the percent of women in the labor force and suicide rates for men, supporting status integration theory. Contrary to expectations, data from the U.S. Indian Health Service areas yielded a significant, positive Pearson correlation coefficient for women but a nonsignificant correlation for men. Implications for cross-cultural research on status integration and suicide are discussed.

In this article, Deirdre Almeida presents an overview of Native American education since the Europeans' arrival in the Americas, with a focus on its effect on Native American women in the United States from 1878 to the present. Until recently the history of Native American women has only been touched upon, but over the past decade, Native American women scholars have emerged to present their perspectives on the influence of both traditional learning and formal Western-based educational programs on Native women.

Abstract:

The Japanese American women, during the Second World War, suffered from subjugation at different levels of their existence. They had been subjected to marginalization based on their sexual identity within their native community. They were further made to experience discrimination on the basis of their racial status while living as a member of the Japanese diaspora in the United States during the War. The objectification and marginalization of the women had led them to the realization of their existence as a non -entity within and outside their community. However, the internment of Japanese Ame

Localities have passed sales restrictions on FTPs that may reduce disparities if vulnerable populations are reached.

Abstract:

No churchgoer born before 1960 can forget the childhood thrill of hearing a missionary speak in church. The missionary arrived in native dress to thank the congregation for its support and, after the service, showed slides in the church hall. The audience sat transfixed, imagining what it might be like to eat termites in Africa, or beg on the streets in India, or study the Bible in a refugee camp. The usually mundane Sunday service became exotic and exciting, as the world beyond the United States suddenly seemed real.

What at first glance seemed familiar to the conquistadores was that men had sex with other men, a behavior they had known for centuries, calling the receptive male partner in such acts berdache, or male pros

It is well established that immigrant adolescents have lower smoking rates than their native-born counterparts. Although smoking rates among immigrants have been theorized to increase with U.S. acculturation, this hypothesis has seldom been tested using longitudinal data spanning multiple developmental stages. The authors address this limitation using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health to model age-based smoking trajectories by gender and nativity status among Asian Americans (ages 10–33 years), adjusting for a range of control covariates.

Endometrial cancer is rapidly on the rise in the developed world. It has overtaken many other types of cancer in both incidence and mortality. Black populations are disproportionately impacted by endometrial cancer, both in Oklahoma and across the United States. In Oklahoma specifically, Native Americans are the most heavily impacted group.

The novel addresses two crucial issues: the referential value of history (If it is impossible to know the past fully, is it impossible to know the past at all?) and the status of history as narrative (If history is just a story, how is it possible t

There is a growing trend across North America of women being criminalized for their pregnancy outcomes.

We consider a range of medical and legal practices constituting gender-based administrative violence, and we argue that they are the result of non-accidental and systematic production of population-level harms that cannot be disentangled from the goals of ongoing settl

There is currently a debate taking place on the impact of immigration on the employment of native-born Americans.

The effects of potential competition from female and teenage workers is also investigated. The results suggest that the relative earnings of central-city black ma
