Perioperative Risks and Outcomes in Asian American Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and/or Metabolic Syndrome
Asian Americans (AA) have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) compared to non-Hispanic White Americans, yet over half of AA patients with T2DM are underdiagnosed or untreated. Surgical stress, known to exacerbate hyperglycemia in T2DM, is also associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Thus, AA patients may be at elevated risk of experiencing poor outcomes following surgery. This r…
The Influence of the Home Food Environment on the Eating Behaviors, Family Meals, and Academic Achievement of Adolescents in Schools in the UAE
The eating behavior (EB) and habits developed during adolescence tend to persist into adulthood, with parents and caregivers playing a significant role in shaping their children's food choices. The home environment is a crucial setting for developing eating behavior during adolescence. This study aimed to explore the influence of the home food environment (HFE) and its correlates on EB, family meals (FMs), and academic achievement among adolescen…

The Carceral State
This article reviews key works in the anthropology of mass incarceration, generated by anthropologists and their interlocutors whose research is directed outside physical sites of imprisonment. My geographical focus is on the United States during the last decade's political and economic Zeitgeist, shaped by the manifestations and consequences of the carceral state and the prison industrial complex. My discussion is also guided by research invigor…

Risk of disease transmission is increased by economic and political instability, poor living conditions, and limited awareness of hygienic practices. The current study aimed to investigate the community perception and awareness regarding the risk factors of CE in Pakistan, from a One Health perspective. Methods: We conducted a community-based s…

The Deepest Dye
How colonial categories of race and religion together created identities and hierarchies that today are vehicles for multicultural nationalism and social critique in the Caribbean and its diasporas. When the British Empire abolished slavery, Caribbean sugar plantation owners faced a labor shortage. To solve the problem, they imported indentured "coolie" laborers, Hindus and a minority Muslim population from the Indian subcontinent. Indentureship …
Spread of Cystic Echinococcosis in Pakistan Due to Stray Dogs and Livestock Slaughtering Habits
Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a global zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus and it has been reported from both livestock and humans in Pakistan. The definitive host of E. granulosus is the dog, and the large number of stray dogs in Pakistan contributes to the spread of CE. However, there is little information between stray dogs and CE relation in the country. Methods: During the study, diffe…

Islam and the Americas
Material and Immaterial Bodies
In Atlantic world diaspora studies, culture and identity have been foundational concepts in analysis of the meaning and significance of diaspora. This essay argues that the centrality of these concepts is signal in reproducing a contradiction in diaspora theory that undermines its contemporary revisionist intentions. On the one hand, there is emphasis on hybridity and fluidity, while, on the other, diasporas are often encapsulated as discrete, im…
Citizenship from Below
No gates on the frontier
This special issue of Cultural Dynamics grows out of an interdisciplinary symposium celebrating the life and scholarship of Michel-Rolph Trouillot, held on 1 March 2013 at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, New York University.1 Doing justice to Trouillot’s work means honoring his indispensable contribution to scholarship and his profound commitment to critical thinking. By “critical thinking” I do not mean the cliched and vague…
Dark Arts and Diaspora
Exploring the relationship between diaspora and creolization, this article analyzes their shared theoretical foundation in the concept of community. With the premise that empirical evidence of social behavior is both a problematic and a necessity in understanding processes of diaspora and creolization, the article takes as its case in point a cultural phenomenon commonly known in the Atlantic World as obeah: magical practices using supernatural p…
Islam, Vodou, and the Making of the Afro-Atlantic
This paper considers how representations of Islam and Vodou have shaped the ways we understand Atlantic history, relations of power, and the symbolic importance of religion as an interpretive category. It emphasizes the Caribbean region's trope of cosmopolitanism as a key organizing principle in historiography and theory building, arguing that although cosmopolitanism can be a valuable discursive strategy in self-reflexive constructions of identi…
Globalization and the Post‐Creole Imagination
Amid Memory and Historical Consciousness
In discussions of world history and global political economy, plantations have a special place. Their longevity, a development process that has involved significant continuities (as well as transformations) over time, and a symbolic significance arguably equal to their material contributions all contribute to the importance of this complex building block of the modern world. During Europe's transition to capitalism, beginning in the 16th century,…

Empirical Futures
Since the 1950s, anthropologist Sidney W. Mintz has been at the forefront of efforts to integrate the disciplines of anthropology and history. Author of Sweetness and Power: The Place of Sugar in Modern History and other ground-breaking works, he was one of the first scholars to anticipate and critique 'globalization studies.' However, a strong tradition of epistemologically sophisticated and theoretically informed empiricism of the sort advanced…

Juthaa in Trinidad
Focusing on the Hindi term juthaa-food and drink that have become "polluted" by being partially consumed-this article explores pollution ideology and its implications for social relations and the construction of identity among Hindu and Muslim East Indians in Trinidad. It suggests that in this overseas community the salience of the concept of juthaa, though caste derived, is indicative of an egalitarian morality at work in concert with hierarchic…
Good to Think
Although the concept of creolization is undergoing avid and close examination by scholars from across the humanities and social sciences, the foundational assumptions by which the concept is constituted, both implicit and explicit, have been unevenly examined. The notion of agency is a key dimension of the creolization concept. Discussion of creolization and agency in a number of different usage contexts makes the creolization concept's theoretic…

Rites and Rights of Passage
This article explores the possibility, and constitution, of what might be called a diasporic consciousness among Indians in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Memorialized in diaspora stories about the betrayal of indentured laborers, and in concerns about acquiring proper knowledge with which to practice religious rituals, diasporic consciousness is an expression of Indo-Trinidadians' agency and is fundamentally political. Seeking to alleviate…

Catching the Wind
In this essay I explore key tropes in the study of the Caribbean and New World African diasporas, focusing on the work of Richard Price, and, in particular, Travels With Tooy. I engage some problematic issues in the definition and apprehension of memory, history, and cultural transformation (creolization). These issues include the constitution of "knowledge" and "evidence," the value and meaning of empirical research, the relationship between the…
