Book

Description

"Kiefer (anthropology, U. of California, San Francisco) considers the meaning of poverty in people's lives and examines their access to, or lack of, health care. Aimed at students and professionals in the field, the book argues that individuals serving the poor have the opportunity and the obligation to address the root causes of ill health. The book addresses the relationship between the health worker and the low-income client, analyzes the causes of poverty in America, and examines the uses of community organizing for alleviating social problems." -From Book News
