In Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting, medical anthropologists Alexandra Brewis and Amber Wutich explore another side of the issue: the startling fact that well-intentioned public health campaigns can create new and sometimes damaging stigma, even when they are successful. Brewis and Wutich present a novel, synthetic argument about how stigmas act as a massive driver of global disease and suffering, killing or sickening billions every year. They focus on three of the most complex, difficult-to-fix global health efforts: bringing sanitation to all, treating mental illness, and preventing obesity. They explain how and why humans so readily stigmatize, how this derails ongoing public health efforts, and why this process invariably hurts people who are already at risk. They also explore how new stigmas enter global health so easily and consider why destigmatization is so very difficult. Finally, the book offers potential solutions that may be able to prevent, challenge, and fix stigma. Stigma elimination, Brewis and Wutich conclude, must be recognized as a necessary and core component of all global health efforts. Drawing on the authors' keen observations and decades of fieldwork, Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting combines a wide array of ethnographic evidence from around the globe to demonstrate conclusively how stigma undermines global health's basic goals to create both health and justice. -- Çc book jacket. 650 0 $a World health. 650 0 $a Medical anthropology. 650 0 $a Health attitudes. 650 0 $a Sanitation. 650 0 $a Weight loss. 650 12 $a Global Health $x ethnology. 650 12 $a Social Stigma. 650 22 $a Attitude to Health. 650 22 $a Sanitation. 650 22 $a Obesity. 650 22 $a Mental Disorders. 650 7 $a Health attitudes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00952808 650 7 $a Medical anthropology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01013693 650 7 $a Sanitation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01105094 650 7 $a Weight loss. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01173454 650 7 $a World health. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01181338 700 1 $a Wutich, Amber, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303020428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0BC6011C2DF711EAB868BF0597128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
