This series publishes books about health, illness and inequality. The books in this series will show the links between structural forces and both individual experiences and institutional practices. Scholarship will examine the multitude of ways that governments and institutions manage, regulate, and control individual and community health. Books in this series will employ a critical sociological lens to examine how power shapes health and inequality. Doing so will allow for studies of how health intersects with and is shaped by race, class, gender, ethnicity, immigration, sexuality, education and disability. Although this series considers important questions in and about medical care, the books in this series also go beyond examinations of medicine in practice and instead place health, healthcare, and medicine within broader social, cultural, and regulatory contexts.
