The Focus of the Book is Diabetes and Indigenous Peoples from a critical medical anthropology perspective, which disengages and disidentifies itself with the interests of conventional biomedicine. The purpose of the book is to reframe the diabetes mellitus question, through analyses of the history of the disorder and the peoples it affects in contexts of social inequality. Each Part will be composed of several chapters. It is important that contributors use clear, accessible language, and make use of visual aids, since the volume is primarily aimed at health professionals, social workers, and policy makers and administrators working in a variety of settings in different parts of the world. Authors do not need to identify themselves.
