Paul Farmer has battled against AIDS in rural Haiti and deadly strains of drug-resistant tuberculosis in the slums of Peru. A medical anthropologist with more than fifteen years in the field, Farmer writes from the front lines of the war against these modern plagues and shows why, even more than history, they target the poor. This “peculiarly modern inequality” that permeates AIDS, TB, malaria and typhoid in the modern world, and feeds of new (or re-emerging) infectious diseases such as Ebola and cholera, is being bare in Farmer’s harrowing stories of sickness and suffering.
Challenge accepted methods of epidemiology and international health, he recalled that the strategies most recent memorandum, the “cost effectiveness” for patient “noncompliance,” inevitably lead to blaming the victims. In reality, large forces, both global and local, to determine why some people are sick and others are protected from risks. Yet this moving account is far from a hopeless inventory of insoluble problems. Farmer writes of what can be done in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, determined by doctors to treat those in need. Infections and Inequalities married meticulous scholarship with a passion for solutions – solutions for the wounds of the poor and social maladies that have supported them.
