Book excerpt: While diabetes has been found in human populations for several millennia, cases of type 2 diabetes were rare in American Indian populations prior to World War Two. Today American Indians have some of the highest rates of diabetes worldwide. The majority of the research on this epidemic focuses on reservation populations. While rates of diabetes climbed in reservation areas, they also grew in cities, where nearly 80 percent of Native people live today. In this dissertation, I explore experiences with, understandings of, and care for diabetes in Chicago's Native community, a community that is made up of individuals representing more than 100 tribes from across the United States and Canada. Through this exploration I illustrate that diabetes in Native Chicago is understood and organized by a local system of classification that has been shaped by what community members observe in cases of the disease among family and friends. I show that in the face of this epidemic, care for disease is woven into the everyday lives of community members. Ultimately I argue that the relationship between human culture and human biology is a reciprocal one, in which history and culture shape modern human health and human health shapes modern culture. I argue that colonialism acted on bodies and communities through intergenerational trauma, displacement, chronic poverty, and altered foodways, and that the high risk of developing diabetes is being incorporated into contemporary discussions of indigenous American identity in the urban space.

Book Synopsis "I Gotta Try to Watch what I'm Eating, You Know?" by : Margaret E. Collier
Download or read book "I Gotta Try to Watch what I'm Eating, You Know?" written by Margaret E. Collier and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes is becoming an ever prominent problem throughout the world as we enter into the Twenty-first Century. American Indian populations have the highest rates of diabetes diagnoses in the world. In order for culturally appropriate treatment to be administered, the ways that diabetes is known has to first be fully understood. Social studies of science and technology and medical anthropology demonstrate that the ways in which the material world is known is through social practices and processes. One such method of describing the ways that knowledge is achieved is through a mangle of practice (Pickering 1995), whereby, a process of resistances and accommodations occur in the development of knowledge. This thesis explores one American Indian center's modes of dealing with diabetes in an urban center. The American Indian Center of Chicago has several wellness programs that directly address the issue of diabetes. I explore the ways in which the experience of diabetes is in a mangled process of interaction between the center's wellness programs and the program participants that they are designed for. The wellness programs do have a clear impact on the ways that members of the center experience and care for their diabetes, while at the same time, the program participants have an impact on the ways that the programs take shape in the center.

Download or read book Diabetes written by Arleen Marcia Tuchman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who gets diabetes and why? An in-depth examination of diabetes in the context of race, public health, class, and heredity Who is considered most at risk for diabetes, and why? In this thorough, engaging book, historian Arleen Tuchman examines and critiques how these questions have been answered by both the public and medical communities for over a century in the United States. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Tuchman describes how at different times Jews, middle-class whites, American Indians, African Americans, and Hispanic Americans have been labeled most at risk for developing diabetes, and that such claims have reflected and perpetuated troubling assumptions about race, ethnicity, and class. She describes how diabetes underwent a mid-century transformation in the public's eye from being a disease of wealth and "civilization" to one of poverty and "primitive" populations. In tracing this cultural history, Tuchman argues that shifting understandings of diabetes reveal just as much about scientific and medical beliefs as they do about the cultural, racial, and economic milieus of their time.
Book Synopsis Diabetes Among the Pima by : Carolyn Smith-Morris
Download or read book Diabetes Among the Pima written by Carolyn Smith-Morris and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past forty years, the Pima Indians living in the Gila River Indian Community have been among the most consistently studied diabetic populations in the world. But despite many medical advances, the epidemic is continuing and prevalence rates are increasing. Diabetes among the Pima is the first in-depth ethnographic volume to delve into the entire spectrum of causes, perspectives, and conditions that underlie the occurrence of diabetes in this community. Drawing on the narratives of pregnant Pima women and nearly ten yearsÕ work in this community, this book reveals the PimasÕ perceptions and understanding of type 2 and gestational diabetes, and their experience as they live in the midst of a health crisis. Arguing that the prenatal period could offer the best hope for curbing this epidemic, Smith-Morris investigates many core values informing the PimasÕ experience of diabetes: motherhood, foodways, ethnic identity, exercise, attitude toward health care, and a willingness to seek care. Smith-Morris contrasts gripping first-person narratives with analyses of several political, economic, and biomedical factors that influence diabetes among the Pimas. She also integrates major theoretical explanations for the disease and illuminates the strengths and weaknesses of intervention strategies and treatment. An important contribution to the ongoing struggle to understand and prevent diabetes, this volume will be of special interest to experts in the fields of epidemiology, genetics, public health, and anthropology.

Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
