• "Bringing together fourteen original chapters written by Canadian experts, Health and Society: Critical Perspectives provides a compelling introduction to the field of health studies. Taking a critical social sciences approach, the text extends beyond a biomedical perspective to consider the social, cultural, political, and economic dimensions of health, illness, and health care. This approach encourages students to examine how health and health care are socially and culturally constructed, what ideologies, principles, and powers underpin health and health care, and what kind of future health challenges we face as a society. Throughout, the contributing authors draw on relevant theoretical paradigms as well as real-life case studies to discuss traditional and emerging issues in the field of health--including social determinants of health, social justice, consumerism, and technology. Current and comprehensive, Health and Society uses a critical lens to help students understand the complex health matters that shape--and are shaped by--society."--
