About this product

Product Information

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.

Reviews
"This is a masterly and important study from one of the leading and most historically knowledgeable analysts of diverse health trends. The deep knowledge that Dr Kunitz draws from his highly productive career enables him to combine a coherent synoptic vision with illuminating case studies that explore the distinct health fortunes of indigenous and Hispanic populations. This is history that policy makers urgently need to know and to reflect on." Simon Szreter, St John's College, Cambridge, "Understanding what determines differences in health between populations is a central preoccupation of public health. Stephen Kunitz tackles the heterogeneity of mortality experience across individual states in the United States. In a scholarly and thought-provoking manner, he draws on a broad literature to argue that historically informed differences in state culture, running back centuries, influence health via the manner in which communities mobilize state and private institutions to advance the public good. This book is an important contribution to the study of determinants of population health, challenging as it does simplistic one-dimensional explanations. Its scope and intelligence will engage anyone interested in these big and difficult questions." David Leon, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, "Stephen Kunitz has given us an inspiring book of extraordinary importance. He engages historical perspectives, regional cultures, national institutions and social traumas in the study of mortality. His approach might be of interest to scientists in many fields, and to humanists in many disciplines, as an example of how we might learn from one another." David Hackett Fischer, Earl Warren Professor of History, Brandeis University, Massachusetts
