The Experience of Alzheimer’s Disease Family Caregivers in a Latino Community: Expectations and Incongruences in Support Services
Services are being provided under a model that was established four decades ago and may not reflect current realities. The concept of "an ethics of care" allows us to move beyond familism and explain that underutilization of services may also be due in part to the cultural incongruence between what service providers offer and the perceived needs of Latino caregivers
Organizational Culture Theme Theory and Analysis of Strategic Planning for a New Medical School
Analyses of planning and organizational culture are understudied within the social sciences. With an applied anthropological perspective on strategic planning and organizational change, we advanced a methodology for cultural theme theory and analysis.

The Elder in the Cuban American Family: Making Sense of the Real and Ideal
Much of the literature on family networks of Hispanic elders in the United States assumes that the family is the natural support network without considering the structural, cultural, and psychosocial impact of immigration, or exile, on the family. However, there has been an increasing tendency of elder Cuban immigrants in the United States to live alone. With increasing mobility and varying degrees of acculturation across generations, it is impor…
Danzas Nacionalistas: The representation of history through folkloric dance in Venezuela

This article considers the case of Danzas Típicas Maracaibo (DTM), a dance company founded in 1976 under the auspices of the government of the sta…
