Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A report from the front lines of the war against the most deadly epidemics of our times, by a physician-anthropolpgist who has for over 15 years sought to serve the poor of rural Haiti and other settings in the Americas. Review:"[Farmer's] message is urgent and relevant for saving millions of lives." Christian Century Synopsis:"Farmer's work diverges strikingly from the current 'emerging infectious disease' literature, much of which misses essential points about causation that Farmer brings out very well. . . . It is sure to appeal to those general readers attracted to books like Garrett's "The Coming Plague, as well as to readers in medicine, public health, and the sociomedical sciences."--Frederick L. Dunn, M.D. "Farmer argues against those who would insist that the health problems of the poor require and must await structural changes, that underdevelopment negates the efforts of physicians. He believes there is much that doctors can do, not simply as activists but as physicians."--Randall Packard, author of "White Plague, Black Labor Synopsis:Includes bibliographical references (p. 283-367) and index.
