Oppression
Oppression and health are intricately connected and much scholarly and applied attention to the social determinants of health has focused on the "causes of the causes" of ill health. These include systemic forces such as capitalism, globalization, imperialism, medicalization, neo-colonialism and neoliberalism. The authors of this important contribution insist that If we are to change the oppressive practices that cause ill health, our analysis must attend to these systemic forces and grapple with society's growing health inequalities with a structural analysis rooted in an ethic of responsibility and social justice. In this important addition to the relatively new field of critical health studies, this book's internationally recognized authors do just this. Oppression is an integration of critical social scientific perspectives and health systems/health sciences knowledge. The second edition updates material in the first edition and adds a new chapter on COVID -19.
Anti-racist Health Care Practice
Building on an everyday clinical practice perspective, the authors provide clear and detailed definitions of concepts and terms related to racism and health. Filled with examples of racism in the health care system and strategies to examine and contest racism, this book will become an essential resource for students and practitioners in the health sciences, the sociology of health, and a variety of other disciplines which investigate racism.
The Politics of Social, Ecological, and Structural Determinants of Health in Canada
The Politics of Social, Ecological, and Structural Determinants of Health in Canada is the first Canadian book to examine intersections of social, ecological, and structural determinants of health as the crucial pathway to tackling growing health inequities in Canada. Critical perspectives on the social and ecological determinants of health are explored using detailed and easily accessible case studies. Each chapter integrates how health and illness are rooted in social, economic, and political structures, with clear explanations of how societal power and ruling relations so strongly determine human and planetary health. Bringing together health, social, ecological, and political sciences, this text makes the case that the structural determinants of health are increasingly urgent and pivotal markers of who lives and who dies. The text also explores earth-centred policy and governance strategies to lessen and halt extreme inequities. This powerful text will serve a broad scope of readers, including students and researchers in health, social, and geological sciences; practitioners and policy-makers; and people in non-governmental and not-for-profit organizations.
Oppression
In this current environment, it is urgent to understand how oppression and health are closely connected. Oppression: A Social Determinant of Health offers a thorough and accessible overview of the root or structural causes of ill health, such as capitalism, globalization, colonialism, medicalization and neoliberalism. The contributors to this volume insist that the key to tackling these structural forces is understanding and changing oppressive practices that cause ill health, thus reframing growing health inequities within the scope of moral responsibility and social change. This thoroughly updated second edition contains contributions from internationally recognized experts in the field of critical social science analyses in health systems and health sciences studies. New chapters provide timely discussions about oppression, Treaty Rights, Big Pharma, the Anthropocene and the COVID-19 pandemic. This book provides a comprehensive overview of core ideas for investigating how oppression “gets under the skin” to perpetuate health inequities.

Lorraine has used short stories and a conversational tone to bring people and events alive on the page.
Decolonizing Equity
Institutions everywhere seem to be increasingly aware of their roles in settler colonialism and anti-Black racism. As such, many racialized workers find themselves tasked with developing equity plans for their departments, associations or faculties. This collection acknowledges this work as both survival and burden for Black, Indigenous and racialized peoples. It highlights what we already know and are already doing in our respective areas and offers a vision of what equity can look like through a decolonial lens. What helps us to make this work possible? How do we take care with ourselves and each other in this work? What does solidarity, collaboration or “allyship” look like in decolon...
