Infections and Inequalities

Discover the groundbreaking insights of Paul Farmer in his influential book, Infections and Inequalities, published in 2001. With 424 pages of compelling content, Farmer challenges the conventional methodologies of epidemiology and international health. He critically examines how prevalent explanatory strategies, from 'cost-effectiveness' to patient 'noncompliance,' often result in victim-blaming rather than addressing the root causes of health disparities. This essential read is perfect for those interested in anthropology, epidemiology, and social justice, shedding light on the intersections of infectious diseases and systemic inequalities. Dive into this thought-provoking work that not only informs but also inspires change in the field of health and social science.
