Description matérielle : 1 vol. (XV-279 p.) ; 24 cm
Comprend : Part I. The National Perspective: 1. Institutions, income, and mortality in the United
States; 2. Institutions and the mortality of African Americans, Hispanics, and American
Indians; 3. Regional patterns of urban African American mortality ; Part II. Local
Studies: 4. Extremes of mortality in the poorest states; 5. Regional differences in
American Indian mortality; 6. Hispanic mortality in New Mexico; 7. Conclusion.
Note(s) : "Across the contiguous 48 states, populations in states with more activist civic cultures
have lower mortality than states that do not follow this model. Several different
factors can be pointed to as causes for this discrepancy - net income, class inequality,
and the history of settlement in each of the different states and regions. These observations
are true of Non-Hispanic Whites and African Americans but not of American Indians,
and Hispanics, neither of which is fully integrated into the state political culture
and economy in which it resides. In Regional Cultures and Mortality in America, the
struggles these various populations face in regard to their health are explored in
terms of where they reside"--Provided by publisher
