Cultural Diversity in Health and Illness

As a minority it is frustrating a book on diversity is filled with stereotypes and assumptions. Why not gain some insight by including knowledge from healthcare workers within the culture being discussed?

??? This is how it came to me. Totally torn up. I've never had this issue with amazon before so I'm very disappointed.

Good book. Used throughout the course

Exactly as described

Cultural Diversity in Health and in Illness by Rachel E. Spector was an interesting textbook to study. There were a lot odd cultural stuff that made me think, why people do them while others made sense. I was taken on a journey through each cultural group and explored their ways of religion, health, and illness. Most believe in evil eye. I do not. But how so many of them despite their differences that did was a curiosity to me. I had to buy this textbook for my cultural diversity class in health. There was plenty to discover, learn, and think about...the writer did an excellent job in portraying each ethnic group. Not all groups were included in this book. But a good majority were. It broke down the major minority and majority ethnic groups into sections for a student, like me, to learn. Odd but well-organized. Many old healing traditions stuck out to me as weird. For health professionals this is a great brief study in creative health culture diversity. The traditions and customs of most groups are explored. I was not going into a health profession but needed a health credit. Overall, it was an intriguing study.

Nice book

This book is horrible. I didn't learn much from this text book this semester. Unfortunately it was a requirement to graduate.

Great condition
