However, the health status of this population group is far below than that of non-indigenous populations by all standards. Could the persisting reluctance to understand the influence of self-governance, globalization and social determinants of health in the lives of these people be deemed as a contributor to the poor health of indigenous peoples? Within this volume, Ullah explores the gap in health status between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples by providing a comparative assessment of socio-economic and health indicators for indigenous peoples, government policies, and the ways in which indigenous peoples have been resisting and adapting to state policies. A timely book for a growing field of study, Globalization and the Health of Indigenous Peoples is a must read for academics, policy-makers, and practitioners who are interested in indigenous studies and in understanding the role that globalization plays for the improvement of indigenous peoples' health across the world. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in health and social welfare ;$v15. 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xHealth and hygiene 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xMedical care 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xSocial conditions 606 $aGlobalization$xHealth aspects 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xHealth and hygiene. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xMedical care. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aGlobalization$xHealth aspects. 676 $a305.8 676 $a362.1089 700 $aUllah$b A.
