This book explores the legacy of the Latin American Social Medicine
and Collective Health (LASM-CH) movements and other key
approaches-including human rights activism and popular opposition
to neoliberal governance-that have each distinguished the struggle
for collective health in Latin America during the twentieth and now
into the twnety-first century. At a time when global health has
been pushed to adopt increasingly conservative agendas in the wake
of global financial crisis and amidst the rise of radical-right
populist politics, attention to the legacies of Latin America's
epistemological innovations and social movement action are
especially warranted. This collection addresses three crosscutting
themes: First, how LASM-CH perspectives have taken root as an
element of international cooperation and solidarity in the health
arena in the region and beyond, into the twenty-firstcentury.
Second, how LASM-CH perspectives have been incorporated and
restyled into major contemporary health system reforms in the
region. Third, how elements of the LASM-CH legacy mark contemporary
health social movements in the region, alongside additional key
influences on collective action for health at present. Working at
the nexus of activism, policy, and health equity, this
multidisciplinary collection offers new perspective on struggles
for justice in twenty-first-century Latin America. The chapters in
this book were originally published as a special issue of the
journal, Global Public Health.
