Riassunto

Why do affluent Americans seek health via their computers? How can a peyote culture be said to pursue wellness? This collection of 12 essays focuses on the ways individuals seek equilibrium (more widely understood as health in Eurocentric culture) within their environment. These health-seeking behaviors vary widely from culture to culture, and these essays reflect that diversity in their studies of health-seeking behaviors among Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, Africans located in Namibia, Nigerian-Americans, Arab-Americans, native Hawaiians, resettled refugees of Southeast Asian ethnicities, people in the health care system of India, practitioners of Big and Little Moon peyotism, Asians in Singapore, and the aforesaid affluent who seek healing and health on the Internet.
