An Error In Judgement The Politics Of Medical Care In An Indianwhite Community Dara Culhane Speck by Dara Culhane Speck 9780889228634, 0889228639 instant download after payment.

On January 22, 1979, an eleven-year-old Native girl died of a ruptured appendix in an Alert Bay, B.C. hospital. The events that followed are chronicled here by Dara Culhane Speck, a member by marriage of the Nimpkish Indian Band in Alert Bay. She has relied mainly on interviews, anecdotes & public records to describe how this small, isolated Native community took on the local hospital, the College of Physicians & Surgeons, provincial & federal ministries of health and national media, because their private tragedy held implications that reached far beyond one child, one physician, one town & even one century.

“Successfully forces the liberal white reader to look beyond totem poles & quaint Indian baskets to our common history.”
—Vancouver Sun

Dara Culhane received her Ph.D. in 1994 & teaches anthropology at Simon Fraser University. From 1992 to 1994, she was Deputy Director of Social & Cultural Research for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. Her first book, An Error in Judgement, probes the controversial 1979 death of a First Nations child who died of an undiagnosed ruptured appendix in Alert Bay, B.C. She continued her work with The Pleasure of the Crown, which offers an in-depth analysis of Aboriginal title litigation in British Columbia & examines the cultural values & biases of the courts from an anthropologist’s point of view. Culhane’s research has also appeared in BC StudiesNative Studies Review & The Journal of Human Justice.
