Title: An ethnography of stress
Description: This compelling ethnography makes new inquiries into the "anthropology of stress." Focusing on the implications of premature morbidity and mortality in Numbulwar, a remote Australian Aboriginal community, this book examines the social determinants of health and how forms of self-conceptions can mediate, and perhaps exacerbate, stressful experiences. Engaging essential frameworks and topics in medical and psychological anthropology, Victoria Katherine Burbank draws important new conclusions about the social sources of suffering.
