My Nerves Are Broken: The Communication of Suffering in a Greek-Canadian Community
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the meaning of "nevra" (nerves) for Greek women in Montreal. The authors point out that to understand the meaning of "nevra" for Greek women in Montreal, one must closely examine the social relations of the women's existence: the conditions of factory work, the double-work day, and gender relations in the Greek community, as well as Greek concepts of the link between household, health and control of female body boundaries and their implications for the expression of social distress (anxiety, depression and adaptation syndrome).
