"A tour de force, Nancy Krieger's latest book weaves together decades of her own pioneering work integrating ecosocial theory, empirical research, and transformative policy and politics. This clear-headed cri de coeur is guided by Krieger's dazzling intellect, deep historical and contextual understanding, methodological knowhow, and above all is motivated by her lifetime of commitment to social and health justice." -- Anne-Emanuelle Birn, Global Development Studies, University of Toronto and lead author Textbook of Global Health"In this landmark book, Nancy Krieger makes a compelling case for not simply working to address health inequities but grounding that work firmly in ecosocial theory and a deep understanding of the 'embodied truths our bodies tell.' A masterpiece, from one of the most important public health scholars of the last half century." -- Meredith Minkler, School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley, and co-editor, Community Organizing and Community Building for Health and Social Equity"Building on decades of research, Nancy Krieger's eloquent writing takes us on a journey through history, science, and sociology to peel back surface explanations and reveal what truly shapes our health. This expos'e of how our bodies reflect the embodied truths of society should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand health disparities." -- Steven Woolf, Center on Society and Health, Virginia Commonwealth University"This book connects all the dots'e"structural racism, class, power, gender, white supremacist culture, policy, ableism, and more'e"providing the most elegant and accessible explanation of how they all interact, connect, and shape not only embodied health but our environment and public policy. The stories, the data, and the analysis are deftly on point. This book is an absolute game changer." -- Makani Themba, Higher Ground Change Strategies, Jackson, Mississippi"This book provides a clear, accessible entry into one of Nancy Krieger's main contributions to public health literature'e"the ecosocial theory of disease distribution'e"with helpful examples for the application and importance of this theory for a general audience. Many communities of color will resonate with her explanation of the interdependence of societal and environmental situations on unequal and disparate health outcomes." -- Randall Akee, Departments of Public Policy and American Indian Studies, and Chair of American Indian Studies Interdepartmental Program, University of California, Los Angeles"Nancy Krieger's groundbreaking concept of ecosocial theory has influenced a generation of environmental and public health scholars.

Preface Acknowledgments Chapter 1. From Embodying Injustice to Embodying Equity: Embodied Truths and the Ecosocial Theory of Disease Distribution Chapter 2. Embodying (In)justice and Embodied Truths: Using Ecosocial Theory to Analyze Population Health Data Chapter 3. Challenges: Embodied Truths, Vision, and Advancing Health Justice References Index
Synopsis
From public health luminary Nancy Krieger comes a revolutionary way of addressing health justice and the embodied truths of lived experience. Since the 1700s, fierce debates in medicine and public health have centered around whether sources of ill health can be attributed to either the individual or the surrounding body politic. But what if instead health researchers measure--and policies address--how people biologically embody their societal and ecological context? Ecosocial Theory, Embodied Truths, and the People's Health represents a daring new foray into analyzing how population patterns of health reveal the intersections of lived experience and biology in historical context. Expanding on Nancy Krieger's original ecosocial theory of disease distribution, this volume lays new theoretical groundwork about embodiment and health justice through concrete and novel examples involving pathways such as workplace discrimination, relationship abuse, Jim Crow, police violence, pesticides, fracking, green space, and climate change. It offers a crucial counterargument to dominant biomedical and public health narratives attributing causality to either innate biology or decontextualized health behaviors and provides a key step forward towards understanding and addressing the structural drivers of health inequities and health justice. Bridging insights from politics, history, sociology, ecology, biology, and public health, Ecosocial Theory, Embodied Truths, and the People's Health presents a bold new framework to transform biomedical and population health thinking, practice, and policies and to advance health equity across a deeply threatened planet., Drawing on an array of novel examples such as workplace discrimination, relationship abuse, Jim Crow, climate change, and pesticides, Nancy Krieger argues for a more expansive understanding of how humans biologically embody our societal and ecological contexts., From public health luminary Nancy Krieger comes a revolutionary way of addressing health justice and the embodied truths of lived experience.Since the 1700s, fierce debates in medicine and public health have centered around whether sources of ill health can be attributed to either the individual or the surrounding body politic.

    The book was in exactly the condition described in the listing. I generally don’t buy books that only have one photo.It was shipped quickly. The book arrived via Amazon box truck and was in Amazon packaging, so I assume this seller also lists books on Amazon. I wish I had known this as I am trying to not shop Amazon. I just think other buyers might want to know this. Still, the book was packed with care in a bubble envelope. Shipping costs were reasonable, but there was no tracking available.

    I am very happy with my purchase. The doll came just as described and very fast. She was packaged very well. This was a great value. I look forward to future purchases from this seller.
