Description

Contagion: Health, Fear, Sovereignty explores the complex relationships between global health, politics, and culture. This collection of essays examines how language is used in epidemiology during times of war, the impact of disease surveillance on societies, and how films and novels portray the challenges of contagion in a global context.

Through its analysis of these topics, Contagion sheds light on the ways in which health issues can be used as tools for social control. By examining the intersections between health, politics, and culture, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex issues surrounding global health.

Written by Bruce Magnusson, Zahi Anbra Zalloua, and contributors to the Global Studies Symposium on Contagion, Contagion is a thought-provoking exploration of the ways in which health issues shape our world.
