Reviews

This extraordinary book will be relevant to all who are interested in medical anthropology, psychiatry, and health studies... Highly recommended. CHOICE Connect Provocative and ethnographically rich ... Her book and her arguments are of paramount importance for anthropology, psychiatry and public health as we struggle to improve care for people facing extraordinary conditions, and its encapsulation in a single volume offers an unmatched resource for teaching and research design in these areas. Ethos Comfortably traversing the boundaries between anthropology and psychiatry, Jenkins seeks to contextualize what is known as mental illness, taking it beyond the elicitation of symptoms to broader realms of subjective meaning situated within sociocultural in?uences... This book is an intellectually engaged yet passionate quest to examine these in?uences in lives as lived. American Anthropologist
