Produktbeschreibung

"The Anthropology of Welfare" explores how theoretical concepts of anthropology can be applied and used in issues of welfare and community care. It examines the relationship between the cared for, their carers and the social, cultural and political-economic milieu in which their interactions take place. The international contributors, whose work is based in both rural and urban areas, question definitions of "community" and the institutional interfaces involved--between social services and health services and primary and secondary health care.
