The Grey Zone of Health and Illness - Culture, Disease, and Well-Being (Hardcover)

Most discussions of health care center on medical advances, cost, and the roles of insurers and government agencies. With "The Grey Zone of Health and Illness," Alan Blum offers a new perspective, outlining a highly nuanced theoretical approach to health and health care alike. Drawing on a range of thinkers, Blum explains how our current understanding of health care tends to posit it as a sort of state of permanent emergency, like the nuclear standoff of the Cold War. To move beyond that, he argues, will require a complete rethinking of health and sickness, self-governance and negligence. A heady, cutting-edge intervention in a critical area of society, "The Grey Zone of Health and Illness "will have wide ramifications in the academy and beyond.
