Using the literary work of Filipino author Nick Joaquin to examine the Philippine discursive between the "normal" civilized and the defined "primitive" Indigenous populations.
Study uses data from the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Survey to measure income-related inequalities in the experience of psychological distress and suicidal behaviors in Aboriginal adults living off-reserve. Findings indicate that higher income and especially food security serve as a protective factor against mental health issues. Recommends policy that attends to these socioeconomic determinants of health.
