"This timely book takes seriously the idea of understanding how our social world - and not individual responsibility or the healthcare system - is the primary determinant of our health. Kathryn Strother Ratcliff puts into practice the "upstream" imagery from public health discourse, which locates the causes (and solutions) of health problems within the social environment. Each chapter explains how the policies, politics, and power behind corporate and governmental decisions and actions produce unhealthy circumstances of living - such as poverty, pollution, dangerous working conditions, and unhealthy modes of food production - and demonstrates that putting profit and politics over people is unhealthy and unsustainable. While the book examines how these unhealthy conditions of life generate significant class and ethnic health disparities, the focus is on everyone's health. Arguing that none of us should be placed in health-threatening situations that could have been prevented, Ratcliff's provocative analysis uses social justice and human rights lenses to guide the discussion "upstream," toward possible changes that should produce a healthier world for us all. Using data and ideas from many disciplines, the book provides a synthesis of invaluable information for activists and policymakers, as well as for professionals and students in sociology, public health, and other fields related to health"--The publisher.

People with mental health conditions are among the most socially excluded groups in society. Mental health conditions are influenced by the social environment, which in turn shapes our social and cultural responses to the people who experience them. Much of what mental health practitioners do is 'essentially social' and the effects of their interventions are hampered by the marginalised status of many of the people that they see. This book documents the ways in which people with mental health conditions are excluded from participating in society and offers some pointers as to how this may be reversed. It highlights the need to reduce mental health inequalities and to consider the importance of material inequalities and social injustices faced by people experiencing mental ill-health. Whilst the challenges are considerable and the solutions wide-ranging, mental health practitioners can play a significant role in facilitating the social inclusion of those with mental health conditions.

This volume brings together research in the GeoHumanities from various intellectual perspectives to illustrate the benefits of humanities-inspired approaches in understanding and confronting historically entrenched and recently emergent health-related challenges. In three main sections, this volume seeks to foreground the richness of work entangling medicine and health with the concerns of geography and of the Humanities. This volume will be of interest to academics and researchers in the Geographies of health and medicine, social sciences in GeoHumanities, and health humanities, and students in programs focusing on the humanities and health. In the book's first section, Bodies, the authors explore the material, sensory and more than physical capacities of bodies in accounting for experiences of death, air raids, immigration, dance therapy, asthma and blindness. Section two, Voice, addresses the nature of evidence, HIV/AIDS policy, patient voices in animal research, homelessness, and constructions of truth. The final section, Practice, focuses on creative writing, as well as the pedagogic tools of teaching with the asylum, the creative practice of nuclear emergency planning zones, arts-based care for the elderly, and cartographic practices within health research. “This engaging collection offers insightful encounters with the geographical imagination that bring a depth of human experience to medical and health concerns. It adds critical weight to the ‘geohumanities turn’ by not only providing an important foundational collection but also by suggesting future opportunities at the permeable edges of the humanities, health and place.” -Robin Kearns, University of Auckland "Live issues, matters of life and death, lively stories and deathly silences: these are the difficult grounds tracked and troubled by this wonderful new collection, a pioneering effort to explore the meeting of GeoHumanities with medical/health humanities. Straddling disciplines and reaching beyond the academy, contributions to this collection - poetic, evocative, experiential, experimental, scholarly and critical - tellingly illuminate multiple new possibilities for GeoHumanistic medical-health inquiry and care-full, practical interventions." -Christopher Philo, University of Glasgow.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Cet ouvrage présente ce que les disciplines du droit, des sciences humaines et sociales peuvent apporter comme éléments théoriques pour mieux évaluer les pratiques en médecine et les politiques publiques qui œuvrent pour une diminution des inégalités sociales et de leurs répercussions les meilleures en santé. Que ce soit en gériatrie, en médecine générale ou même dans la prise en charge actuelle des cancers dans le cadre de la médecine personnalisée, de tels apports théoriques devraient faire réfléchir les professionnels en modifiant leurs pratiques cliniques et de recherche mais également les apports théoriques confrontés aux résultats des praticiens devraient permettre une remise en question de programmes ou de notions de santé publique. Enfin, les droits de patients et, plus avant, les droits des personnes les plus vulnérables de la société, dont les malades, se doivent d'être promus à la seule réalité des pratiques existantes, qui montrent alors la justesse ou la faiblesse des notions appliquées dans les politiques publiques. Des représentants des disciplines de sciences de la vie, des sciences humaines et sociales de l'unité 4569 « Éthique, Politique et Santé », du Centre de Recherche de Droit Public et de santé publique de l'Université de Montréal ont effectué un séminaire de deux jours pour aborder autrement et en interdisciplinarité ce fléau qui s'étend malgré l'essor de nos technologies et nos politiques publiques."
