What happens when a new cultural minority arrives inthe U.S. and seeks healthcare from providersunfamiliar with their culture and unaware of theirneeds? As a U.S. nurse practitioner herself, theauthor engages in dialogues with scores of Braziliansabout assumptions and expectations of Brazilianpatients and those of their American doctors andnurses. With an ear both compassionate andanalytical, Dr. Roberts uses the words of herpatients and colleagues to paint vivid pictures ofconflicts and adaptation about which few U.S.clinicians know to ask. Many voices contribute tothis book, which elucidates how misunderstandings,dissatisfaction, humor, and growth play into theexperience of being a new immigrant navigating aforeign system and of clinicians trying to providethe best possible care. ------ Maxine L. Margolis, author of An Invisible Minority: Brazilians in New York City says, "Cadę O Carinho presents a compelling, multifaceted portrayal of Brazilians in the U.S. and is crucial reading for any healthcare professional offering them care, as well as anyone interested in how culture and health intersect."
