Book excerpt: During the Depression, silicosis, an industrial lung disease, emerged as a national social crisis. Experts estimated that hundreds of thousands of workers were at risk of disease, disability, and death by inhaling silica in mines, foundries, and quarries. By the 1950s, however, silicosis was nearly forgotten by the media and health professionals. Asking what makes a health threat a public issue, David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz examine how a culture defines disease and how disease itself is understood at different moments in history. They also consider who should assume responsibility for occupational disease.

Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.

Download or read book Cheran written by Ralph Leon Beals and published by . This book was released on 1946 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1946, Ralph L. Beal's Cheran: A Sierra Tarascan Village is a classic study of a Tarascan Indian community on the verge of modernization within Mexico. Situated in west-central Mexico, Cheran was one of the most isolated mountain towns until about 1940, when a highway connected it to larger cities. With Cheran poised for rapid modernization, Beals & other anthropologists arrived in 1940 to begin an intensive study of the Tarascan community & its five thousand inhabitants before their lives were inextricably altered by modern life. After two years of gathering data about Cheran's geography, agriculture, manufacturing, food use, government, religious ceremonies, fiestas, & general lifeways, Beals published their findings as Publication No. 2 of the Smithsonian Institution's Institute of Social Anthropology. Cheran is a valuable resource for today's anthropologists, providing a solid, empirical foundation for comparison to similar communities & for tests of acculturative theories. This paperback edition contains a follow-up introduction the author wrote in 1973 & a new foreword by George M. Foster that discusses the impact of Beals's groundbreaking work on further studies of Cheran & similar communities. RALPH L. BEALS was Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles, & the author or coauthor of more than a dozen books, among them An Introduction to Anthropology, The Contemporary Culture of the Cahita Indians, & Ethnology of the Western Mixe. GEORGE M. Foster, who wrote the foreword, is professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, & the author of Tzintzuntzan: Mexican Peasants in a Changing World.
