Aprašymas
This book presents previously untold narratives of South Asian psychiatrists in the UK and provides insight into the impact of cultural identity, migration, and marginalisation on their lives and work. The development of cultural psychiatry arose to meet the needs of multi-ethnic populations. A hitherto overlooked area in the field is the impact of the white spaces of socio-cultural institutions on psychiatrists from ethnic minority backgrounds. Through the lived experience of South Asian psychiatrists, this pioneering book delves into the effects of structural marginalisation, the culturally specific needs of South Asian populations, and the impact of migration across generations. Personal accounts impart the importance of recognising the cultural hybridity of ethnic identities and how to work with cultural frameworks. Set in the UK context, insights can be applied more widely to other diaspora settings, and are critical in understanding diverse cultural environments.
