Immigration Assimilation

This chapter examines the deployment of counter-incorporative strategies as a means to thwart potentially dangerous elements from entering the eating body. In particular, it examines how, through the language of disease and contamination that proliferates in the realm of immigration and its effect on culture, select national cultures are portrayed as under attack from foreigners and their filthy, debased bodies. Marked with cannibalism as the ultimate expression of savagery and human degradation, these bodies evoke anxiety and deep-seated fear of extinction in the national consciousness. Focusing on select texts by Edwidge Danticat, Andrea Levy, and Gisèle Pineau—works that have become entrenched in the canon of Caribbean women's writings thanks to their framing of food and eating as symbolic practices in diasporic identity formation—the chapter analyzes the national body as an ingesting, digesting, and excreting organism. It explores the twin phenomena of cannibalism, that is: taking in difference in order to neutralize its negative impacton the receiving body, and anthropemy—the elimination of sickening symptoms by vomiting the ingested foreign body.

Background History

Introduction: Dentures are common accidental ingested foreign body (FB) especially among elderly. It is frequent to have foreign body impacted at esophagus in adults however it is very unsual to have Tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) caused by denture. The diagnosis of TEF is challenging due to two reasons. Firstly, most of the dental prosthesis is radiolucent and not visible in routine radiological investigation. Secondly, patient with history of swallowed dentures prosthesis may be asymptomatic initially and develops symptoms over time. In contrary, prolonged history of FB in esophagus with TEF has higher risk to develop serious complication such as pneumonia and lung abscess.Case Presentation: We report a case of 62 year old gentleman with background history of hypertension and temporal lobe epilepsy presented with history of choking on taking solid and liquid associated with significant weight loss past 2 months. He had lost his denture for almost 1 year during sleep. Endoscopic examination of the larynx showed normal anatomy but pooling of saliva. CT thorax showed foreign body within a tracheoesophgeal fistula. OGDS showed denture within a well formed tracheoesophageal fistula. He had acquired TEF secondary to the dentures. Conclusion: Symptomatic elderly who lose their denture during sleep should not be neglected. They need immediate medical assessment thus will reduce further debilitating complication. Failing to identify and treat this condition urgently, patient will suffer acquired trachea-oesophageal fistula on which the treatment is challenging and the morbidity and mortality is high.

ABSTRACT Ingested foreign body is one of the most frequently encountered emergencies in otolaryngology practice. Many of these foreign bodies get lodged in the upper digestive tract and can be removed endoscopically. Few of these foreign bodies can perforate the upper digestive tract and an even smaller number of these can migrate extraluminally. Although, a migrating foreign body can remain quiescent, they can cause life-threatening suppurative or vascular complications; hence, location and removal is essential. Here we report two cases of extraluminal migration of foreign body which was removed by neck exploration. How to cite this article Divya GM, Hameed AS, Ramachandran K, Vinayak KV.

The epilogue affirms that the old Anglophone African diaspora in the West is characterized by considerable ethnic, national, socioeconomic, sociocultural, religious, and political diversity as well as by markedly different interplays of race, class, and gender in different geographical locations and microcontexts. Black diasporic sensibilities perpetually renew and transform themselves in response to the limitless variety of life experiences in the diaspora. Nevertheless, rather than merely emphasizing black diversity for its own sake, this book has repeatedly brought the discussion back to the original propellers of the old African diaspora. This book’s diasporic hermeneutics have highlighted the historical origin of the old African diaspora in the Middle Passage and slavery and the cultural mediation of the collective memory of this ur-event. This emphasis on the old African diaspora’s origin in an event has anchored this book’s approach to diaspora in a racially antiessentialist understanding of black diasporic identity formation. Middle Passage narratives both mourn the lives that were lost as a result of the Atlantic slave trade and highlight the survivors’ innovative strategies of survival, acclimatization, and resistance. These themes, in modified yet recognizable forms, are also powerfully present in the novels about later black migrations analyzed in this book.
