Radical Health. Cache 04

Health and healthcare provision are an utterly complicated affair. Critical medical anthropologists have shown how even the most intimate aspects of illness and health are to be understood in the light of larger political-economic forces that shape human existence and experience. In current times of proliferating socioeconomic inequalities, anthropogenic climate change, and violent political conflict, the authors of this cache volume Radical Health attend to the multiple ways in which health is envisioned, theorized, and actually ‘done’ despite much adversity. Assembling a diverse mix of scholars, healthcare practitioners, activists, and artists, the volume is concerned with the relations between health, power, and inequality, but also looks at diverse aspirations for collective care, solidarity, friendship, and more just futures.
