Dealing with narratives of vulnerable populations, this book looks at how they deal with dimensions of their social life, especially in regards to health. It reflects the socio-political ecologies like public hostility and stereotyping, neglect of their unique health needs, their courage to overcome adversity, and the love of family and healthcare providers in mitigating their problems. American society likes to give the impression that it is listening to the plight of vulnerable populations, but the stories in this volume prove otherwise.

Cecilia Sem Obeng is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Health Science at Indiana University in Bloomington. She has published four books, an edited volume, and over 60 articles.
