How is Racial Discrimination Assessed in Quantitative Health Research? A Systematic Review from a European Perspective
Racial discrimination is a global issue that affects both physical and mental health. However, a comparative study looking at how racial discrimination is assessed in studies focusing on the effect of racial discrimination on overall health is lacking. This systematic review aimed to compare and describe the most commonly used racial discrimination assessment tools and the connection between racial discrimination and overall health. The review wa…
Whiteness and American Literature
This volume provides an illuminating exploration of how ideas about whiteness have shaped the literature and culture of the United States. Covering nearly 250 years – from the 1790 Naturalization Act, which limited access to citizenship to immigrants who were 'free white person[s],' to the present – Whiteness and American Literature considers how a broad spectrum of novels, movies, short stories, television shows, poems, songs, and other works de…

The Cambridge Companion to Race and American Literature
Race is central to American history. It is impossible to understand the United States without understanding how race has been defined and deployed at every stage of the nation's history. Offering a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the history of race, The Cambridge Companion to Race and American Literature shows how this history has been represented in literature, and how those representations have influenced American culture. Written…
“What the Eyes Don’t See”
Is there a connection between medicine and citizenship?At first sight, these two realms would seem to have nothing in common: medicine is the domain of health and healing, while citizenship is rooted in the sphere of the law.Where both domains can be said to converge, however, is in the idea of access.Citizenship regulates both the rights and the responsibilities of a nation's subjects.These rights include the right to medical care.This is nowher…

Self-Help, Natality and ‘Civic Growth’
This paper examines the role that SHGs (self-help groups) have played in the creation of ‘civic growth’ and changing electoral politics in India. Based on ethnographic engagement in a village in West Bengal before and after the formation of these groups, the impact of the transformative effect of these groups on women is placed in a wider political context. The activity of the SHG enabled horizontal solidarities to emerge despite the vertical div…
Introduction
Hygiene, Whiteness and Immigration
Upton Sinclair’s novel The Jungle has been read as a critique of unfettered capitalism in the urban space of Chicago at the beginning of the twentieth century. This essay argues that this capitalist critique may gain further depth when read through the intersection between transnational American studies and medical humanities. Through the perspective of the Lithuanian character Jurgis Rudkus, the narrative turns on its head xenophobic claims of i…
Cultures of Citizenship in the Twenty-First Century
A Small Place recounts "sitting across from an Englishman" who, as a result of the collapse of the British empire, looked "so sad, sitting on the rubbish heap of history" (30)(31).In likening the historical contribution of the English to the accumulation of trash, Kincaid portrays the past as an accretion of stuff or a reservoir of pollution, rather than something that is simply elapsed and unrecoverable.The metaphorical rubbish of history that t…

The gap between knowledge and belief
One of the central challenges educators face today, especially in higher education, is the gap between warranted (domain-specific) knowledge and the prior beliefs students hold about certain concepts and phenomena (preconceptions). In the Internet age, students often self-directedly acquire knowledge from an increasingly large number of contradictory sources of information, many of which are biased or untrustworthy. Based on existing research, th…
Narratives and Their Impact on Students’ Information Seeking and Critical Online Reasoning in Higher Education Economics and Medicine
The digital and information age has fundamentally transformed the way in which students learn and the study material they have at their disposal, especially in higher education. Students need to possess a number of higher-order cognitive and metacognitive skills, including effective information processing and critical reasoning to be able to navigate the Internet and use online sources, even those found outside of academically curated domains and…
First Nations Healing
Focusing on First Nations traditional medicine, we investigated whether traditional knowledge of medicinal plants can be validated by modern scientific methods of molecular and cellular pharmacology and whether this information is of value for improving current therapy options. Based on two projects on medicinal plants of the Gwich’in – a First Nations group on the Canadian North West Coast – we found that extracts from several plants traditional…
Life Is So Good”
When we are trying to come to terms with death and dying, or the loss of a loved one, cultural practices can fulfill important functions. Literature, music, and the arts can help us cope with loss by expressing our emotions in a way which seems to be universal. This paper investigates the role of co-written centenarians' autobiographies in this context. It focuses specifically on autobiographies by African American centenarians and white co-autho…
Money and Meaning in Elections
This article offers a comprehensive set of explanations for why people vote. Based on evidence from Indian elections, where voter turnouts remain consistently high-and rising-despite voting not being compulsory, the article shows that two broad sets of reasons exist. First, a set of transactional factors, labelled 'money' here, encompass within it the instrumental and coercive reasons that propel people to vote. Secondly, evidence shows that peop…

Elections as Communitas
This essay examines the state of elections within India and discusses why voter turnout remains at approximately 60 percent in a nation where the citizens realize that the material conditions of their lives will not improve from one election to the next. The state of Indian democracy is discussed, and the author concludes that the electoral process provides a sense of community and egalitarianism that suspends the rules of typical social order

Bollywood Meets the Beatles
This article explores the role of (South) Asianness for contemporary German popular culture. The mystery series Stubbe: Von Fall zu Fall features an Indian taxi driver whose presence in the German nation is said by the filmic narrative to be an illegitimate one. This article investigates the repercussions of this illegitimacy in both legal and cultural terms. When read against the background of recent green card legislation, the mystery series ca…

Travelling Theory, Reshaping Disciplines? Envisioning Asian Germany through Asian Australian Studies
This article explores the possibility of creating an Asian German Studies by exploring the ‘coming into being’ of Asian Australian studies as an academic discipline. I suggest that such a transdisciplinary, transnational dialogue might draw attention to the ways in which disciplines are created and the (nationally and culturally specific) obstacles with which their institutionalisation has to contend. An Asian German Studies might be situated at …

Traveling Barbies' and rolling blackouts Images of mobility in Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding
This article proposes to read Mira Nair's film Monsoon Wedding through a critical framework provided by transnational anthropology. Such a framework suggests that approaches celebrating transnational mobility must be balanced against nationally specific forms of constraint. It is argued that Monsoon Wedding bears out precisely such a balance. Nair's film suggests that the mobility of human lives may not be quite as unfettered as that of cultural …

Neo-nationalism in Europe and beyond
By the early twenty-first century neo-nationalist forces have established themselves in a number of the world's large regions and subcontinents. From Australia to South Asia, in Eastern and Western Europe, comparable parties and movements have positioned themselves in national parliaments and governments, with some considerable impact on state power. In contrast to right-wing extremist parties in the past, these recent movements mostly operate wi…

Since the second half of the 20th century, the life sciences have become one of the dominant explanatory models for almost every aspect of human life. Hand in hand with biomedical developments and technologies, the life sciences are constantly shaping and reshaping human lives and changing human biographies in manifold ways. The orientation towards life sciences and biomedicine from the very beginning to the end of human life is driven by the uto…
