This book serves as a much-needed source of information on the
social and health issues that impact the health of Native American
women in the United States, accompanied by invaluable historical,
cultural, and other contextual data about this sociocultural group.
Health and Social Issues of Native American Women is the first book
that specifically explores and discusses health and related social
issues within the world of Native American women, providing strong
historical and cultural perspectives as well as other contextual
information that is often missing or misrepresented in other works
about Native American women. Comprising contributions from mostly
Native American women scholars, the work presents key background
information on native women's health, health care delivery systems,
and sociocultural history, and its chapters address the changing
role of native women in Alaska and other parts of Indian country.
Each author taps her specific area of expertise and knowledge to
spotlight specific native women's health problems, such as
nutrition, aging, domestic violence, diabetes, and substance abuse.
