内容説明

Spurred by the United Nation's International Decade for Disabled Persons and medical anthropology's coming of age, anthropologists have recently begun to explore the effects of culture on the lives of the mentally and physically impaired. This collection of essays both reframes disability in terms of social processes and offers a global, multicultural perspective on the subject. Using research undertaken in a wide variety of settings - from a longhouse in central Borneo to a community of Turkish immigrants in Stockholm - contributors explore the significance of mental, sensory and motor impairments in light of fundamental, culturally determined assumptions about humanity and personhood.
