Recenzii
The book is an essential read for any student or scholar interested in health-care activism, the shaping influence of neoliberalism and market thinking on health-care activism and the ways in which such dominant framings may be rethought. It provides a rich insight into the shapes and forms activism may take, while emphasising that we, as scholars of health-care activism, need to further broaden our focus beyond health-, economically-, and digitally literate activist groups.
Contributing authors identify struggles around intellectual property rights, medicines, and wars on various diseases, also addressing activism in the "shout loudest" social media culture. Some nuanced and useful case studies are included, e.g., an account of the digitization of Danish health care, or analysis of breast cancer social movement narratives. The book supports health care activism unabashedly.
