| Abstract | "The field of Global Health can be complex and challenging. This fascinating set of case studies not only illustrates the global interconnectedness of health issues across different continents but also brings clarity to the range of social theories used to make sense of the construction and distribution of health and illness around the world. Both accessible and engaging, this volume will be important reading for students and scholars of medicine and public health, medical anthropology and sociology, and development studies, as well as professionals working in global health"-- Provided by publisher. |
