When Misfortune Becomes Injustice Evolving Human
Rights Struggles for Health and Social Equality,
Second Edition (Stanford Studies in Human Rights)
2nd Edition
When Misfortune Becomes Injustice surveys the
progress and challenges in deploying human
rights to advance health and social equality over
recent decades. Alicia Ely Yamin weaves together
theory and firsthand experience in a compelling
narrative of how evolving legal norms, empirical
knowledge, and development paradigms have
interacted in the realization of health rights,
and challenges us to consider why these advances
have failed to produce greater equality within
and between nations. In this revised and expanded
second edition, Yamin incorporates crucial
lessons learned about the state of global health
equity and public health systems during the
COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating just how
incompatible the current institutionalized world
orderâbased on neoliberal, financialized
capitalismâis with one in which the rights of
diverse people around the globe can be realized.
COVID-19 struck a world that had been shaped by
decades of disinvestment in public health, health
systems, and social protection, as well as
privatization of wealth and gaping
social inequalities within and between countries,
and the evident crisis of confidence in the
capacity of democratic political institutions and
global governance was deepened by the pandemic.
Yamin argues that transformative human rights
praxis in health calls for addressing issues of
structural inequality and political economy, and
working across disciplinary silos through
networks and social movements.
