In recent years, the term ‘Health Disparity’ and ‘Health Equity’ have become increasingly familiar, particularly in the field of public health. The editors of this book have brought together a variety of articles from researchers of diverse fields in anthropology to focus on the importance of health equity among the indigenous peoples, including those who are marginalized or underprivileged. This will help the reader to understand the problem that arises out of health disparity and the various ways to overcome it. One of the most interesting features of this book is that the contributing authors of most of the articles have discussed their findings based on field work. Besides, researchers of varied other fields of public health, economics, sociology etc., have brought out various dimensions which have added further value for which the volume will be extremely beneficial to policy makers. Such an interdisciplinary approach makes it more useful for both the scholars who are pursuing research in medicine and public health as well as those who are at the foundational stage of their career in teaching as well as research.
