Globalization is a form of social change, reshaping the socio-spatial milieu in which human strive, and in which health and disease are managed and controlled. And yet the effects of globalization are distributed unevenly, with opportunities open for some but not for all. Globalization, Health and the Global South is an important textbook for any student of this fascinating area. Examining the dynamics of globalization through the lens of the Global South, it highlights risks and vulnerabilities that effect different regions and contexts, exacerbating inequalities despite the continuing speed of global processes. The books takes a critical approach to the topic, offering readers a deep understanding of health discourses and discussing a range of key topics, including migrant health, the role of politics and diplomacy, and the Coronavirus epidemic. Including further reading and end of chapter discussion questions, this essential textbook will be important reading for students across the health social sciences.
