PDF-(BOOS)-Medicalizing Ethnicity: The Construction of Latino Identity in a Psychiatric Setting

In Medicalizing Ethnicity Vilma SantiagoIrizarry shows how commendable intentions can produce unintended consequences SantiagoIrizarry conducted ethnographic fieldwork in three bilingual bicultural psychiatric programs for Latino patients at public mental health facilities in New York City The introduction of cultural sensitivity in mental health clinics she concludes led doctors to construct essentialized composite versions of Latino ethnicity in their drive to treat mental illness with sensitivity The author demonstrates that stressing Latino differences when dealing with patients resulted not in empowerment as intended but in the reassertion of AngloAmerican standards of behavior in the guise of psychiatric categories by which Latino culture was negatively defined For instance doctors routinely translated their patients beliefs in the Latino religious traditions of espiritismo and Santera into psychiatric terms thus treating these beliefs as pathologiesInterpreting mental health care through the framework of culture and politics has potent effects on the understanding of normality toward which such care aspires At the core of Medicalizing Ethnicity is the very definition of multiculturalism used by a variety of institutional settings in an attempt to mandate equality.

Daily 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID - 19) Race/Ethnicity Summary Data are preliminary and subject to change Data through 6/ 1 8 /2021 , updated 6/ 1 9 /202 1 8 : 00 AM 1 Summary of COVID - 19 Cases This book explores the dynamics of the struggle for racial and ethnic identities in the southern United States, focusing on the Lumbee Indians of North Carolina. The book is also a history of American Indian concepts and visions of history, starting with the contemporary period and with the perspectives of the Lumbee Indians, and working backward to the colonial period and to the major groupings of Indian peoples. The book addresses the key question of how differing interpretations of history cause traditionally oppressed peoples to continue their struggle. Lumbee Indian Histories is a part of a larger project, centred at the Max Planck Institut f?r Geschichte, in Gottingen, Germany, to create new methodological approaches to, and concepts for, an historical anthropology. For centuries, a persistent and important component of Lakota religious life has been the Inipi, the ritual of the sweat lodge. The sweat lodge has changed little in appearance since its first recorded description in the late seventeenth century. The ritual itself consists of songs, prayers, and other actions conducted in a tightly enclosed, dark, and extremely hot environment. Participants who “sweat” together experience moral strengthening, physical healing, and the renewal of social and cultural bonds. Today, the sweat lodge ritual continues to be a vital part of Lakota religion. It has also been open to use, often controversial, by non-Indians. The ritual has recently become popular among Lakotas recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. This study is the first in-depth look at the history and significance of the Lakota sweat lodge. Bringing together data culled from historical sources and fieldwork on Pine Ridge Reservation, Raymond A. Bucko provides a detailed discussion of continuity and changes in the “sweat” ritual over time. He offers convincing explanations for the longevity of the ceremony and its continuing popularity.
