This is an essential knowledge base with which to equip the next generation of health researchers to deal with the major existential questions we are facing. Krieger is an intellectual giant in epidemiology and public health, one of our great thinkers who takes us from past, present to future. I do not know of another book that so thoroughly reflects upon the impact of our socio-historical past of colonial rule and post-colonialism upon present population health, the influence of eugenics on health statistics, to thereafter brings readers up to date on the current and major preoccupations of public health and social justice. Essential reading for students, academics, and scientists at all stages of their career who take an interest in population health. In my opinion, Kriegers writing is the only place where the intellectual depth and breadth of our discipline is laid out accessibly to novices and experts alike."
Michelle Kelly-Irving, UniversitƩ Toulouse III Paul Sabatier Krieger revisits and amplifies her astute, sensitive, state-of-the-art analysis of how epidemiologys past and present grapple with social (in)justice, incorporating such critical issues as the corporate determinants of health and the political ecology of climate change. A pioneering, ever- salient, and compelling must-read.
