Here, for the first time, is a collection of short speeches by the
charismatic doctor and social activist Paul Farmer. One of the most
passionate and influential voices for global health equity and
social justice, Farmer encourages young people to tackle the
greatest challenges of our times. Engaging, often humorous, and
always inspiring, these speeches bring to light the brilliance and
force of Farmer's vision in a single, accessible volume. A
must-read for graduates, students, and everyone seeking to help
bend the arc of history toward justice, To Repair the World:
challenges readers to counter failures of imagination that keep
billions of people without access to health care, safe drinking
water, decent schools, and other basic human rights; champions the
power of partnership against global poverty, climate change, and
other pressing problems today; overturns common assumptions about
health disparities around the globe by considering the large-scale
social forces that determine who gets sick and who has access to
health care; discusses how hope, solidarity, faith, and hardbitten
analysis have animated Farmer's service to the poor in Haiti, Peru,
Rwanda, Russia, and elsewhere; and leaves the reader with an
uplifting vision: that with creativity, passion, teamwork, and
determination, the next generations can make the world a safer and
more humane place.
