Native Hawaiians are at high risk for several health disorders and experience multiple socioeconomic problems. Infection rates for AIDS in this population are increasing and, when viewed in context of their overall poor health profile, are clearly indicators for concern. This article discusses the ramifications of AIDS in the native Hawaiian community by examining the knowledge and lifestyle practices of 26 native Hawaiians in Hawaii, and by identifying recommendations that may lead to the development of culturally responsive social services.

Puerto Ricans with AIDS constitute a distinct ethnic group and illustrate the need for a multicultural approach to social work practice with individuals with HIV infection and AIDS. This paper deals with the dissonance created when cultural characteristics of nurturance, support, and caring clash with feelings of fear, stima, and anger and cause conflict in the helping process.

The ethnic elderly (over 65 years of age and speak little or no English) enter our health care system at their peril. Many ethnic elderly have lived with their families or in ethno-specific communities, which does not prepare them for health care they receive in a predominantly anglophone health care system. Their age and associate disabilities combined with communication barriers result in a double jeopardy for ethnic elders. Faced with the tension between the communication-needs of the ethnic elderly in health care institutions and the absence of services which take into account language and cultural barriers, there is a role for social workers in helping to define these needs though research and to advocate for change through participation in the policy formulation process.

The challenges and questions directed at the political order in South Africa affected the educational arena as well. The profession of social work has been questioned as to the knowledge base, content, appropriateness and the relevancy of social work education and practice in the South African context. This paper utilizes the multicultural approach to explore cultural issues essential for an appropriate service delivery among the Nguni people in the South African situation. Accordingly, cultural forms and traditions such as the communcal nature of African society, a strong patriarchal system, the value of Ubuntu, tradtional initiation schools, and social support systems are explored for incorporation in the treatment modalities applied. The call for social work education and practice to reappraise the theoretical tools used to suit South African conditions will be met, in part, by recognizing, acknowledging and incorporating the less scientific but equally important knowledge and values of the clientele s...

U.S. policy towards immigrants since 1798 serves as a clear window through which to view both change and continuity in official resistance to the growth of a multicultural nation. Traditions of nativism, racism, and xenophobia are clearly documented in the history of immigration policy. So also are efforts to supplant these virulent traditions with greater receptivity to demographic diversity. Two centuries of federal policies on immigration, together with case records of social work agencies that served immigrants, constitute excellent texts from which to teach social work students about the historical ambivalence of the people of the United States and their government towards welcoming "others."
