Guitar Cultures

Autor: Andy Bennett , Kevin Dawe

Número de Páginas: 226

The guitar is one of the most evocative instruments in the world. It features in music as diverse as heavy metal, blues, indie and flamenco, as well as Indian classical music, village music making in Papua New Guinea and carnival in Brazil. This cross-cultural popularity makes it a unique starting point for understanding social interaction and cultural identity. Guitar music can be sexy, soothing, melancholy or manic, but it nearly always brings people together and creates a common ground even if this common ground is often the site of intense social, cultural, economic and political negotiation and contest.This book explores how people use guitars and guitar music in various nations across the world as a musical and symbolic basis for creating identities. In a world where place and space are challenged by the pace of globalization, the guitar provides images, sounds and styles that help define new cultural territories. Guitars play a crucial part in shaping the commercial music industry, educational music programmes, and local community atmosphere. Live or recorded, guitar music and performance, collecting and manufacture sustains a network of varied social exchanges that...

Social Determinants of Women's Health in Low and Middle Income Countries

Autor: Rubeena Zakar , Parveen Ali , Gaurang Baxi , Sarosh Iqbal

Número de Páginas: 134

It is well-established that the social determinants of health (SDH) highly influence health outcomes and inequities. This is particularly true in low-and-middle income countries, where women are deprived of their basic rights including access to health services, appropriate nutrition, and education. Socio-cultural practices, such as child marriages, forced marriages, cousin marriages, female genital mutilation, and son-preference, undermine women health and well-being. Additionally, various negative stereotypes, such as pregnancy and childbirth-related taboos, dowry and honor-related violence, restrictions on women’s mobility and social participation are significantly associated with women’s health status. To improve women’s sexual and reproductive health, societies must take comprehensive and integrated measures to address these cultural stereotypes and harmful sociocultural practices against women. A SDH approach dictates that health is shaped importantly by various individual factors and community norms that further enable or constrain health. Individual factors include education, income, ethnicity, and the environment wherein people live (including their families,...

Into Africa

Autor: Jane Hamilton

Número de Páginas: 285

How could she have known, sitting behind that red-headed boy in a fifth-grade Oregon classroom, she’d follow him into the heart of Africa? It was a wild journey of faith, thrusting her into the Pokot people’s lives in a remote corner of Kenya. In Into Africa, author Jane Hamilton tells their story offering a look at the everyday life of a bush missionary. For Dick and Jane Hamilton, entering the “culturally protected” area of Kara Pokot, Kenya, in 1974, is like falling through time. The warrior people, living a centuries-old lifestyle of cattle herding and tribal warfare, struggle for survival. The wells drilled by the British during colonial times are long broken. The strange white man begins to repair broken wells, opening the way into the Pokot community and a forty-year ministry with this tribe. Years of tribal conflict, famines, and bush living pale to the challenge of a government suspicious of Americans living among the only tribe in Kenya that have refused to disarm. A shipment of well drilling equipment arrives at Mombasa Port; harmless pellet guns are mistaken for illegal arms. Missionaries are arrested for gun running, and an American well driller dies in police ...
