What do we mean when we talk about rights in relation to health?
Where does the language of health rights come from, and what are
the implications of using such a discourse? During the last 20
years there have been an increasing number of initiatives and
efforts - for instance in relation to HIV/AIDS - which draw on the
language, institutions and procedures of human rights in the field
of global health. This book explores the historical, cultural and
social context of public health activists' increasing use of rights
discourse and examines the problems it can entail in practice.
Structured around three interlinked themes, this book begins by
looking at what health as a right means for our understandings of
citizenship and political subjectivities. It then goes on to look
at how and why some health problems came to be framed as human
rights issues. The final part of the book investigates what happens
when health rights are put into practice - how these are
implemented, realised, cited, ignored and resisted. Assembling
Health Rights in Global Context provides an in-depth discussion of
the historical, anthropological, social and political context of
rights in health and develops much needed critical perspectives on
the human rights approach to global health. It will be of interest
to scholars of public health and human rights within health care as
well as sociology and anthropology.
