Anthropologists, some working in other fields, examine how their discipline and profession have contributed to an understanding of cancer, and how cancer gives them insights into larger social processes. Among their topics are cancer support groups and health advocacy, the elusive subversion of order in modern Crete, narratives that shape the cancer experience for African American women, negotiating power and boundaries in US society, and the culture dimension of cultural tailoring. The 11 studies were presented as part of a seminar in Santa Fe, New Mexico during April and May 2006. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
