HEALTH & MEDICINE ANNOUNCING A NEW SERIES!
ELDER CARE IN CRISIS
Health, Society, and Inequality
How the Social Safety Net Fails Families
Jennifer Reich, Series Editor
Books in the 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. Books in this series will go beyond examinations of medicine in practice and instead place health, healthcare, and medicine within broader social, cultural, and regulatory contexts.
