Doula Perspectives on Lactation Education and Breastfeeding Support for Diverse, Low-income Women
Women living below the federal poverty level have low breastfeeding rates and historically have lacked access to doula care. This disparity is particularly evident among African American women. The objective of this pilot study was to assess doulas' experiences delivering lactation education to racially/ethnically diverse, primarily Medicaid-eligible pregnant women and describe doulas' perceptions of client barriers to breastfeeding. We also want…
Ethnography of the Western Sahara
Alors que le conflit prolongé du Sahara Occidental a posé des défis considérables à la conduite de recherches universitaires dans la région depuis 1975, il a également engendré de nouveaux domaines de recherche transnationale qui traversent les frontières académiques traditionnelles. Cet article passe en revue les thèmes centraux et les directions émergentes du travail ethnographique sur le Sahara Occidental de l’époque coloniale à nos jours. Les…
The Rise of a Saharan City
The Saharan city of Laâyoune, located on the Atlantic coast, was founded in 1938 under Spanish colonialism as a small military post, eventually becoming Spanish Sahara’s administrative and political centre. It grew massively following development of the phosphate industry at Boucraa in the 1940s and Morocco’s annexation of Western Sahara territory in 1975, after Spain’s withdrawal. Its demographics have gradually shifted, with many non-Sahrawi Mo…
Perceptions and Practices of Infant Feeding among African American Women
A large urban hospital in Florida implemented changes to achieve the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) designation in 2015 resulting in an increase of exclusive breastfeeding rates at hospital discharge; however, African American women continue to have the lowest rates overall. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 20 African American women who received prenatal care at a low-income women's clinic and gave birth at an affiliated BFHI …
Mediascapes of Human Rights
In the disputed Western Sahara territory that has remained under Moroccan state control since 1975, Sahrawi political activists who promote self-determination continue to experience forms of state repression and silencing of human rights activism by Moroccan state authorities. Amidst a highly charged political climate, the rapid influx of new digital media sources over the past decade has increased access between Sahrawi activists and diverse pub…
Crisis in the Gulf of Mexico
As natural-technological catastrophes become increasingly complex in their severity, scale, and duration, so too must our policy responses. Utilizing the 2010 BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico as a case study, this paper explores the ecological, sociocultural, and political challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective. Consistent with prior research on catastrophes, the findings of this study indicate that the severity of d…
Poetics of diaspora
The oral poetic tradition in Hassaniya Arabic emerged as a distinct trans-Saharan genre in present-day Mauritania in the pre-colonial era, fusing stylistic features of classical Arabic poetry with the musical heritage and griot1 The term 'griot' is commonly used in French and English as a name for the bards found in different ethnic groups throughout northwest Africa (cf. Hale 1998). traditions of neighbouring sub-Saharan cultures. As a popular m…
Persistent Hunger
This review examines the persistence of chronic hunger in Sub-Saharan Africa in the twenty-first century and reviews dominant famine theories, concepts of vulnerability, and household livelihood security and responses to recent food crises in the region. The authors argue that famine occurrences are linked to historical and contemporary socioeconomic processes that have increased over time the vulnerability of African households to hunger and red…
