Since the early twentieth century, politically engaged and socially
committed U.S. health professionals have worked in solidarity with
progressive movements around the world. Often with roots in social
medicine, political activism, and international socialism, these
doctors, nurses, and other health workers became comrades who
joined forces with people struggling for social justice, equity,
and the right to health.
Anne-Emanuelle Birn and Theodore M. Brown bring together a group of
professionals and activists whose lives have been dedicated to
health internationalism. By presenting a combination of historical
accounts and first-hand reflections, this collection of essays aims
to draw attention to the longstanding international activities of
the American health left and the lessons they brought home. The
involvement of these progressive U.S. health professionals is
presented against the background of foreign and domestic policy,
social movements, and global politics.
