Successful Aging as a Contemporary Obsession: Global Perspectives
by Sarah LambIn recent decades, the North American public has pursued an inspirational vision of successful aging--striving through medical technique and individual effort to eradicate the declines, vulnerabilities, and dependencies previously commonly associated with old age. On the face of it, this bold new vision of successful, healthy, and active aging is highly appealing. But it also rests on a deep cultural discomfort with aging and being old. The contributors to Successful Aging as a Contemporary Obsession explore how the successful aging movement is playing out across five continents. Their chapters investigate a variety of people, including Catholic nuns in the United States; Hindu ashram dwellers; older American women seeking plastic surgery; aging African-American lesbians and gay men in the District of Columbia; Chicago home health care workers and their aging clients; Mexican men foregoing Viagra; dementia and Alzheimer sufferers in the United States and Brazil; and aging policies in Denmark, Poland, India, China, Japan, and Uganda. This book offers a fresh look at a major cultural and public health movement of our time, questioning what has become for many a taken-for-granted goal--aging in a way that almost denies aging itself.

Successful Prosecution of Intimate Violence: Making it Offender-Focused
by Bridget H. Ryan Veronique N. ValliereOffender-focused prosecution concentrates attention to the actions, decisions, choices, and motivations of the offender. Crimes of intimate violence tend to compel investigators, prosecutors, and defense attorneys to fixate on the victim’s behavior to prove or disprove a case. Prosecutors can become helpless when faced with uncooperative victims, challenging facts, or attacks on the victims’ credibility. However, when the prosecution can rely on evidence and offender-focused interviewing, investigation, and case construction, there is a greater chance of success. This book will offer investigators and prosecutors concrete information and techniques to construct and present offender-focused cases in crimes of intimate violence. First, we will challenge the reader’s biases and assumptions about intimate violence, providing information that will dispel pervasive myths and misinformation we maintain. We will explain the motivations and techniques that offenders use on their victims to ensure the victims’ silence, compliance, and resistance to prosecution. The second section will address specific steps that investigators and prosecutors can take for offender-focused prosecution, including interviewing practices, conducting evidence-based investigations, selecting and preparing a jury, and building an offender-focused prosecution through the case. The reader will be offered practical and attainable practices and skills. This book will be primarily intended for investigators or prosecutors. However, it will be accessible to paralegals, victim advocates, judges, and others involved in the criminal justice system to utilize.

Successful Societies: How Institutions and Culture Affect Health
by Peter A. Hall Michèle LamontWhy are some types of societies more successful than others at promoting individual and collective well-being? Focusing on population health as an indicator of social success, this book opens up new perspectives on the ways in which social relations condition health and the public policies that address it. Based on four years of dialogue among scholars from diverse disciplines, it offers social epidemiologists broader views of the social determinants of health and social scientists a sense of the fascinating puzzles of population health. The chapters consider health inequalities in the developing, as well as developed, world. They locate their roots, not only in economic resources, but in the social resources provided by the institutions and cultural repertoires constitutive of social relations. They examine the AIDS epidemic in Africa, the sources of the health gradient, the role of collective imaginaries, destigmatization strategies, and the historical basis for effective health policies.

"Sucht" aus körpersoziologischer Perspektive (Sozialwissenschaftliche Gesundheitsforschung)
by Sophie RubscheitDie vorliegende, qualitative Studie beleuchtet die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Körperwissen und Leiberfahrungen im Hinblick auf Sucht. Die empirischen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es nicht ausreicht, Sucht lediglich als natürlichen Prozess körperlicher bzw. psychischer Vorgänge zu verstehen. Mindestens ebenso bedeutend für die Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung von Sucht ist das Setting im Sinne des soziokulturell geprägten Suchtwissens. Ein gesundheitsförderlicher Umgang mit Drogengebraucher*innen muss daher immer auch die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Körper und Gesellschaft in Rechnung stellen und Identifikationsmöglichkeiten jenseits der Sucht ermöglichen.

Suckling: Kinship More Fluid (Routledge Studies in Anthropology)
by Fadwa El GuindiA ground-breaking ethnographic study of suckling in the Arabian Gulf , this book reenergises the study of kinship. It analyses the misunderstood and marginalized phenomenon of suckling drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Qatar over a seven-year period. Fadwa El Guindi situates suckling (often given other names or subsumed under misleading classifications) squarely in the analytical category of kinship, with recognition that kinship is necessarily biological, societal and cultural. The volume takes kinship study beyond origins, nature-culture debates, and social nurturing and relatedness, and challenges claims of deterministic, reductionist formulas. As well as key reading for those involved in milk kinship research, this book is valuable for anthropologists, Middle East scholars and others with an interest in breastfeeding, family and social organisation, and religion.

Sudan: State, Capital and Transformation (Routledge Library Editions: Sudan)
by Tony Barnett Abbas AbdelkarimBy the mid-1980s, Sudan’s economy, society and political framework were on the point of disintegration. Civil war was exacerbating the effects of an already major famine. An unpopular government was resorting to ever more extreme measures in order to remain in power. The imposition of a particularly oppressive and hash interpretation of sharia law was heightening racial and religious tensions. Internationally, Sudan was faced by a debt crisis which was apparently insoluble, and which threatened to undermine completely what was left of the economy. This book, first published in 1988, examines the complex economic and social processes which led to this situation – emphasising the part played by the state itself. The book combines detailed multi-disciplinary analyses of Sudan in the post-colonial era with a consideration of possibilities for the future.
Sudan
by Jok Madut JokSudan is a country in turmoil, ravaged by civil war, and plagued by roaming gangs of rebel and government militia, with several million facing starvation and disease in Darfur. Tales of state-sponsored murder, genocide, and humanitarian crises are rife, and there is a real need for a measured investigation that carefully examines the causes of the troubles. In this important book, Jok Madut Jok delves deep into his country's culture and past, isolating the factors that cause its fractured national identity. Filled with sharp argument and illustrated with heroic real-life stories of the Sudanese people, Sudan will appeal to everyone who wishes to gain a greater understanding of the history and politics of this fascinating country.
Sudan (The Contemporary Middle East)
by Abdel Salam Sidahmed Alsir SidahmedStretching between the savannah and the equator, Sudan is a microcosm of Africa, with one leg in the Arab world and the other in Africa. Sudan's development, however, has failed to address the differences within the country between its diverse ethnic communities. This has resulted in political instability and a lack of national consensus, ultimately leading to long-term civil war.This useful book provides a comprehensive introduction to contemporary Sudan, outlining the evolution of the state with emphasis on its post-independence experience. It includes chapters on the history, politics, society, international relations and economy of the country.

The Sudan: Unity and Diversity in a Multicultural State (Routledge Library Editions: Sudan)
by John Obert Voll Sarah Potts VollLittle known in the United States and Western Europe, the Sudan is nevertheless a country of major importance in international affairs. This analytic introduction to the modern Sudan, first published in 1985, provides a summary of the basic dynamics of the country’s political, social, cultural, and economic life, as well as a general framework for interpreting the modern Sudanese experience. The authors present a clear picture of the Sudan as a distinctive entity with an identity all its own, revealing, however, that almost paradoxically one of the most significant aspects of that identity is the place of the Sudan as a special link between different cultural patterns and socio-political styles. The Sudan is both a bridge and a melting pot, and this provides the foundation of its unique character.
Sudan After Nimeiri (SOAS/Routledge Studies on the Middle East)
by Peter WoodwardAt the end of 1984, Sudan shot into the headlines as a result of famines, floods, locusts, political instability and civil war.

Amongst the issues discussed are environmental and ecological problems, economic collapse, famine, debt, refugees, the role of Islam in Sudanese politics, Nimeiri's downfall and the administrative problems facing the transitional and present governments.
