Recenzii

GHW 6 is an essential guide to the many global and national forces that are threatening our health, our planet and our equity. While this analysis is frightening the celebration of the power and force of progressive civil society like the People's Health Movement is a call to collective action and to remaining hopeful.
Global Health Watch 6 will assist readers to better understand the causes and consequences of the health crises now afflicting human and planetary health, from the COVID-19 pandemic to the climate emergency , deaths of despair, and rising health inequities. Even better, the book connects readers to the many organizations, movements, and individuals that are working to create a healthier, more equitable and more sustainable world.
At a time when global health often takes little notice of history and resulting power relationships between and within countries, Global Health Watch reliably fills this gap. GHW6, as in previous editions, marshals data and scholarship to support the right to health for all people. It helps answer the call to decolonize global health scholarship and practice. In these times, when pandemics, climate crisis accelerate inequality, it should be required reading for all who work in the field.
Its chapters provide an extraordinary collection of evidence, perspectives and importantly a number of propositions to move reflection and activism on health and well-being from exposure and complaint to justice-driven organization, challenge, and action. With COVID-19 and ecological degradation reflecting and intensifying "the acquisitive inequities" of a neoliberalglobalization, the GHW contributes analysis that merits debate within different regions and contexts for both self-determined and convergent action to build forward fairer.
In our present context of unbridled inequity and ecosystem peril, the appearance of the Global Health Watch (GHW6) is a powerful sign of resistance and consciousness. A tool for people and conscious health workers and scientists, it represents a methodological and ethical alternative to the acritical recitation of health statistics all too common in global health writing. It is the type of the critical independent science we have been calling for, a bold radical science for an ailing world.
COVID-19 exemplifies global inequality. It also demonstrates the great power of individuals and communities. The GHW raises our determination for humanity. Keep "Watching" and "Moving" toward a fairer and better world.
