Religion and the Secular in Eastern Germany, 1945 to the Present
The most common explanations view either the socialist past or larger scale processes of modernization to be the cause of eastern German secularization. The volume attempts to discover historically variable reconfigurations of religion and the secular at the local level.
Antifascism After Hitler
Antifascism After Hitler investigates the antifascist stories, memory sites and youth reception that were critical to the success of political education in East German schools and extracurricular activities. As the German Democratic Republic (GDR) promoted national identity and socialist consciousness, two of the most potent historical narratives to permeate youth education became tales of communist resistors who fought against fascism and the heroic deeds of the Red Army in World War II. These stories and iconic images illustrate the message that was presented to school-age children and adolescents in stages as they advanced through school and participated in the official communist youth or...

Rassismus und Altenpflege in Ostdeutschland
Rassismus gehört zum Alltag und ist integraler wie integrierender Teil unserer Gesellschaft. Aussagen wie: »Ich bin eigentlich aufgeschlossen, aber« leugnen und bestätigen diese Realität zugleich. In der Altenpflege markieren solche Sätze ein Ausschlussbegehren gegenüber einer Zusammenarbeit mit migrantischen Pflegekräften. Monique Ritter wählt multidisziplinäre Zugänge, um das »aber« kontextbezogen am Beispiel der häuslichen Altenpflege in Ostdeutschland zu verstehen. Dabei verknüpft sie nicht nur rassismuskritische, postkoloniale und sozioökonomische Dimensionen des Unbehagens, sondern nimmt auch Bezug auf die spezifisch-historischen Lebenserfahrungen in der DDR und der (Nach-)Wendezeit.
Entanglements of Rare Diseases in the Baltic Sea Region
Although rare diseases have captured public attention in recent decades, the lived experiences of people affected by these conditions remain on the periphery of medical anthropological inquiry. Focusing on Poland, Finland, and Sweden, and foregrounding notions of “rare” or “chronic” disease as an embedded category, this book critically analyzes entanglements between people and families with rare diseases and care practices that involve local healthcare policies, practitioners, and treatment modalities. Drawing on locally grounded case studies, Entanglements of Rare Diseases in the Baltic Sea Region constitutes a unique and important contribution to both global medicine and social science scholarship.

Social Capital and Health
As interest in social capital has grown over the past decade—particularly in public health —so has the lack of consensus on exactly what it is and what makes it worth studying. Ichiro Kawachi, a widely respected leader in the field, and 21 contributors (including physicians, economists, and public health experts) discuss the theoretical origins of social capital, the strengths and limitations of current methodologies of measuring it, and salient examples of social capital concepts informing public health practice. Among the highlights: Measurement methods: survey, sociometric, ethnographic, experimental The relationship between social capital and physical health and health behaviors: smoking, substance abuse, physical activity, sexual activity Social capital and mental health: early findings Social capital and the aging community Social capital and disaster preparedness Social Capital and Health is certain to inspire a new generation of research on this topic, and will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in public health, health behavior, and social epidemiology.
Speech and Song at the Margins of Global Health
Speech and Song at the Margins of Global Health tells the story of a unique Zulu gospel choir comprised of people living with HIV in South Africa, and how they maintained healthy, productive lives amid globalized inequality, international aid, and the stigma that often comes with having HIV. By singing, joking, and narrating about HIV in Zulu, the performers in the choir were able to engage with international audiences, connect with global health professionals, and also maintain traditional familial respect through the prism of performance. The focus on gospel singing in the narrative provides a holistic viewpoint on life with HIV in the later years of the pandemic, and the author’s musica...
