In a major contribution to the study of diabetes, this book is the
first to analyze the disease through a syndemic framework. An
innovative, mixed-methods study, Emily Mendenhall shows how adverse
social conditions, such as poverty and oppressive relationships,
disproportionately stress certain populations and expose them to
disease clusters. She goes beyond epidemiological research that has
linked diabetes and depression, revealing how broad structural
inequalities play out in the life histories of individuals,
families and communities and lead to higher rates of mortality and
morbidity. This intimate portrait of syndemic suffering is a model
study of chronic disease disparity among the poor in high income
countries and will be widely read in public health, medical
anthropology, and related fields.
