The work of reform
Anthropologists have critically examined a range of reforms from education and land to finance and health. Yet the predominant way of looking at reforms has been through a lens focused on neoliberal governance. For example, prior studies of health reforms focus on insurance, financing, and access to care. Yet, seeing reform in this way fails to attend to other types of cultural work at play when calling a policy or law a reform. In this paper, we…
Far More than Just a Prescription”
How Hypertension Guidelines Address Social Determinants of Health
BACKGROUND: Patient-level and community-level social and economic conditions impact hypertension risk and control. We examined adult hypertension management guidelines to explore whether and how existing guidelines refer to social care activities. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to explore how hypertension guidelines reference social care activities. RESEARCH DESIGN: A systematic scoping review of clinical guidelines for adult hyperten…
Anthropological Approaches to the Study of Health Policy
Anthropologists have made important contributions to the study of policy and can play a critical role as participants in policy processes, as well. This article focuses on national health reform po
Seeing and Unseeing Like a State
A 2005 amendment to Israel's Public Land Law and the 1994 National Health Insurance Law (NHIL) are two policies that highlight the complex relationship between the Israeli state and the Negev/Naqab Bedouins. While the Land Law sanctioned house demolitions and the erasure of Bedouin villages, the NHIL granted Bedouins access to healthcare and increased their visibility within the medical system. In this article, I draw on these contradictory polic…
Entangled Bodies
Taking Israel's National Health Insurance Law as a point of entry, in this article I probe how notions of equality and citizenship, secularism, and religion become entangled in the experience of Negev/Naqab Bedouins, who are Palestinian citizens of Israel. Drawing on ethnographic and archival research, I show how Jewish citizens have come to represent the secular and modern citizens in the region, while Bedouins, although mandated and claimed by …
Interrogating Boundaries and Acknowledging Fluidity
In this article we problematize the taken-for-granted nature of the dichotomy between Palestinian and Israeli, or Arab and Jew by illustrating how these identity categories are referenced and navigated by Israelis and Palestinians (Arabs and Jews) in their daily life. Using examples from our observations and conversations with individuals in the region, we argue that while the categories of Jewish/Arab and Israel/Palestine serve as dichotomous or…
Apprendre à ne pas voir. Santé et politique dans le sud israélien
Cet article explore les répercussions des politiques israéliennes de santé sur l'inclusion et l'exclusion des citoyens bédouins arabes. Il montre comment les professionnels de santé israéliens construisent une égalité médicalisée qui néglige les questions sociales, politiques et historiques, indispensables pour comprendre les disparités de santé dans la région. C'est pourquoi, bien que les professionnels de santé continuent de prétendre mettre en…
Negotiating Fluid Identities
This article emerges from struggles we, two American-Israeli women, have encountered while conducting research in Israel on issues related to Jewish-Arab dynamics. Since beginning our research we have faced a single question in nearly every interview: "Where are you from?" Embedded in this question are a whole host of other queries: "Are you American? Israeli? Jewish? Arab?" "What is your native language?" This article engages in the methodologic…
