This innovative book reframes the traditional biomedical view of diabetes and its principle risk factor -obesity -- from a focus on the body, personal choices, and the clinical manifestations of diabetes to an examination of the social environment. The book emphasizes the importance of community-based approaches to healthy eating, exercise, and reducing the "obesogenic" environment many minorities live in.
Liburd chronicles the rise in diabetes over the past 60 years in communities of color, and critically examines why public health action to date to reverse the disparity in diabetes prevalence has been noble, but inadequate.
Key features:
- Analyses of the co-emergence of diabetes and obesity epidemics
- Initiatives for health policy and public health practice
- Discussions on the cultural, political, economic, and social changes that affect diabetes and diabetic patients
