Epidemic Illusions - On the Coloniality of Global Public Health (Paperback)

A physician-anthropologist explores how public health
practices--from epidemiological modeling to outbreak
containment--help perpetuate global inequities. In Epidemic
Illusions, Eugene Richardson, a physician and an anthropologist,
contends that public health practices--from epidemiological
modeling and outbreak containment to Big Data and causal
inference--play an essential role in perpetuating a range of global
inequities. Drawing on postcolonial theory, medical anthropology,
and critical science studies, Richardson demonstrates the ways in
which the flagship discipline of epidemiology has been shaped by
the colonial, racist, and patriarchal system that had its inception
in 1492.
