Amid ongoing debate about health care reform, the need for
informedanalyses of health policy is greater than ever. The twelve
original essays inthis volume show that common public debates
routinely bypass complexethical, sociocultural, historical, and
political questions about how we shouldaddress ideals of justice
and equality in health care. Integrating perspectivesfrom the
humanities, social sciences, medicine, and public health, the
contributorsilluminate the relationships between justice and health
inequalitiesto complicate and enrich debates often dominated by
simplistic narratives. Understanding Health Inequalities and
Justice grounds key conceptualdiscussions in timely case studies
and policy analyses that explore threeoverarching questions: first,
how do scholars approach relations betweenhealth inequalities and
ideals of justice; second, when do justice considerationsinform
solutions to health inequalities, and how do specific
healthinequalities affect perceptions of injustice; and third, how
can diverse scholarlyapproaches contribute to better health policy?
From addressing patientagency in an inequitable health care
environment to examining how scholarsof social justice and health
care amass evidence, this volume combines theskills and
sensibilities of diverse scholars to promote a richer
understandingof health and justice and the successful paths to
their realization. The contributors are Judith C. Barker, Paula
Braveman, Paul Brodwin,Jami Suki Chang, Debra DeBruin, Leslie A.
