Description

Explore a deep analysis of indigenous health in The Healthy Ancestor by Juliet McMullin. Published by Routledge as part of the Advances in Critical Medical Anthropology series, this book examines the complex social and historical factors affecting Native Hawai'ian health. Instead of following common narratives that blame individual behavior or biological deficiencies for health disparities, this work looks at how unequal social relations become embodied. It challenges the idea that indigenous health issues stem solely from non-compliance or lack of immunity. By weaving a historical story of Native Hawai'ian health, McMullin provides a perspective that shifts the focus from personal shortcomings to the fundamental inequalities within social structures. This text is an essential resource for those studying medical anthropology, sociology, and the history of indigenous populations.
