This book reflects and analyses the working of power in the field
of global health– and what this goes on to produce. In so doing,
Rethinking Global Health asks the pivotal questions of, ‘who is
global health for’ and ‘what is it that limits our ability to
build responses that meet people where they are?’ Covering a wide
range of topics from global mental health to Ebola, this book
combines power analyses with interviews and personal reflections
spanning the author’s decade-long career in global health. It
interrogates how the search for global solutions can often end up
far from where we anticipated. It also introduces readers to
different frameworks for power analyses in the field, including an
adaptation of the ‘matrix of domination’ for global health
practice. Through this work, Dr Burgess develops a new model of
Transformative Global Health, a framework that calls researchers
and practitioners to adopt new orienting principles, placing
community interests and voices at the heart of global health
planning and solutions at all times. This book will be beneficial
to students and academics working in the global and public health
landscape. It will also hold appeal to activists, practitioners and
individuals invested in the discipline and in health equity around
the world.
