About the Author

Carolyn Smith-Morris has a BA in anthropology from Emory University, an MS in rehabilitation services from Florida State University, and an MA and PhD in anthropology from the University of Arizona. She is an assistant professor of anthropology at Southern Methodist University. Her ethnographic work addresses chronic disease and the health impacts of culture change on native and developing communities. Most of her research in the last ten years has been among the Pima (Akimel O'odham) Indians of Southern Arizona. She has also worked among the Wiradjuri Aborigines of New South Wales, with Mexican immigrants to the United States, and among the elderly and dying on questions of end-of-life care and the Living Will. She has several other published articles and book chapters on diabetes and research among Native Americans, as well as a co-edited volume on anthropology and chronic conditions. This is her first monograph.

Reviews

"Diabetes among the Pima is an accessible, thoughtful, and penetrating examination of a disease that afflicts minority populations specifically, but is also an indiscriminate disease that has broad implications for health and the health care system in the United States. Smith-Morris has effectively revealed the crucial role the Pima community has played and continues to play in advancing the world's understanding and treatment of diabetes."--David Kozak, Fort Lewis College
