Description: Ecosocial Theory, Embodied Truths, and the People's Health, Hardcover by Krieger, Nancy, ISBN 0197510728, ISBN-13 9780197510728, Brand New, Free shipping in the US 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 Peoples 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 Kriegers 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 Peoples 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.
