Routledge COVID-19 Syndemics and the Global South Book

Explore the complex relationship between disease and structural inequality with COVID-19 Syndemics and the Global South: A World Divided. Part of the Routledge Studies in Health and Medical Anthropology series, this volume uses the pandemic as a lens to examine how clusters of disparities and disease comorbidities affect populations differently. The pandemic has highlighted and increased existing structural inequalities. This book examines how certain subpopulations faced higher exposure to COVID-19 and experienced increased rates of morbidity and mortality. While the pandemic's effects vary by country, the impact on the Global South has been particularly significant. This collection provides a deep look into the differential impacts of the virus at multiple scales. Readers will find analysis covering individual, community, national, and regional levels. It is an essential resource for those studying how global health crises interact with social and economic realities in developing regions.
