This coherently presented and readable book by a multidisciplinary group of academics and community project workers tackles the complex issue of health inequalities. The sources of health inequalities are explored and the book examines how they can be understood at a profound sociological, economic and policy level. More importantly, however, the contributors argue that the now customary government approach towards improving health in deprived populations by advising individuals to live healthier lifestyles is simply not enough. Action to promote public health does of course need to come from the government as well as individuals, but, argue the contributors, interventions can only truly succeed if they engage the community in the broadest sense, from policy development downwards. Public service agencies, academic institutions and communities must work as partners to successfully tackle the effects on the health of a community resulting from the ‘wicked issues’ of crime, poor housing, low educational attainment and chronic illness. The book reports the experience of planning and implementing such partnerships by the five-year Sustainable Health Action Research Programme (SHARP) in Wales. It critically examines the learning from and experience of SHARP in relation to current literature on health inequalities policy and suggests that action research can be used as a tool to explore and tackle complex policy development and implementation issues. The early chapters set SHARP in context, giving convincing evidence of the increase in health inequalities across the UK, looking in particular at Wales, and suggesting that recent approaches to understanding and explaining health inequalities are more local than in the past. The book argues not only that there should be policy directly aimed at reducing health inequalities, but also that this policy should be decided and implemented locally. It is this looking at ‘what works in the context of what matters’ that can really influence profound and lasting change. Health inequalities’ policy and how it is made at a political, economic and sociological level is explored and the book argues that evidencebased policy making is insufficient for true ‘policy learning’. Further legitimacy and lasting success can only be provided by local specification and ownership. The genesis of the SHARP project and how it differs from previous Welsh policy initiatives is outlined and the funded individual projects discussed. The projects, from ‘barefoot’ health workers – recruited from within the minority ethnic community to find culturally and socially appropriate ways of addressing local priorities – to a project for girls and young women in Wrexham, share the same approach: using action research as a tool to not only explore the determinants of health at a local level but to actually bring about change and break the poverty and health inequality continuum in Wales. The book argues that these local initiatives have led to the

Our knowledge of medical malpractice and of the system our country has created to deal with it has developed enormously over the past decade. In 1969 the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Executive Reorganization investigated the medical malpractice problem and published a report. 1973 saw the Report of the Secretary's Commission on Medical Malpractice (referred to here as the HEW Malpractice Report); the Commission's hearings, studies, and deliberations produced the most solid understanding yet of how the system works. Unfortunately, public awareness and understanding of the HEW Malpractice Report and its conclusions was limited. When sharp increases in malpractice premiums led in 1975 to what was almost universally described as a "malpractice crisis," the panic in the medical profession, and the reform statutes adopted in all 50 states, showed little cognizance of the facts so painstakingly gathered and analyzed.

Using critical textual analysis based on the postcolonial school of thought, this essay analyzed a ten-minute segment, called “Women of the Revolution,” on the ABC news program This Week, anchored at that time by Christiane Amanpour, for its portrayals of Arab and Muslim women. The analysis showed that Arab and Muslim women were portrayed positively only when they fit a “media-darling” trope of Western-educated Arab or Muslim women, or those who looked and acted similar to Western women, especially if they ascribed to a Western view of feminism. Those women also were seen as the exception to the “repressive” culture that characterizes the Arab and Muslim worlds, according to the Orientalist stereotype. The implications of this analysis indicate that, in spite of the visibility and progress of many Arab and Muslim women in their countries and indigenous cultures, they are still framed within old recycled molds in US mainstream media, even if these seem positive at face value.
本文采用基于后殖民思想学派的批判性文本分析，分析了ABC新闻节目《本周》(this Week)中一段名为“革命女性”(Women of the Revolution)的10分钟片段，该节目当时由克里斯蒂安·阿曼普尔(Christiane Amanpour)主持，对阿拉伯和穆斯林女性的描绘。分析表明，阿拉伯和穆斯林女性只有在符合“媒体宠儿”的形象时，才会被正面地描绘出来，即受过西方教育的阿拉伯或穆斯林女性，或者那些外表和行为与西方女性相似的女性，尤其是当她们被归因于西方女权主义观点时。根据东方主义的刻板印象，这些女性也被视为阿拉伯和穆斯林世界“压抑”文化的例外。这一分析的含义表明，尽管许多阿拉伯和穆斯林妇女在其国家和土著文化中取得了知名度和进步，但她们仍然被美国主流媒体的旧循环模式所框框，即使这些表面上看起来是积极的。
