""Thoroughly updated and revised, this new edition of
"Understanding Health Inequalities," edited by Hilary Graham,
remains a welcome and timely contribution. Replete with thoughtful
essays on health inequities analyzed in relation to societal
structure, social position and geography ... the volume provides
important insights into how class, racial/ethnic, gender, and
spatial health inequities are produced - and how they can be
rectified. The world economic crisis launched by the implosion of
unregulated financial markets in the fall of 2008 only serves to
underscore the volume's central conclusion: that government
regulation and intervention, premised on a commitment to equity, is
essential for tackling health inequalities. Health professionals,
students, and any and all working for healthy and sustainable ways
of living will benefit from this collection."
Nancy Krieger, Harvard School of Public Health, USA"
