Gender and Health: An International Perspective
( Gender and Health: An International Perspective respon...)
Gender and Health: An International Perspective responds to a growing interest in the relationship between gender, health care organization and health policy. In examining this relationship, Sargent and Brettell demonstrate how biology, medicine, health and ethical dilemmas are informed by culture and shaped by social, political and economic forces.

We Have Already Cried Many Tears: Portuguese Women and Migration
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0870732331/?tag=2022091-20
When They Read What We Write: The Politics of Ethnography
(Stimulated by discussions of ethics and responsibility in...)
Stimulated by discussions of ethics and responsibility in anthropological fieldwork, this collection of essays explores what happens when people who are the subjects of the research read or learn about what has been written about them. The most acute problems arise from biased media reports in newspapers and on television that misconstrue the findings of the anthropological study. This work shows how long-term relationships of trust and cooperation between subject and researcher can be irrevocably damaged by misinformation, rumor, or lack of forethought. The ten seasoned ethnographers writing with considerable hindsight warn of the dangers of ignoring the native readership and suggest strategies that will avoid misunderstandings and misrepresentations in the future.
