About This Book

This fascinating, multi-disciplinary collection examines how public health interventions in postcolonial Africa mirror wider manifestations of power in the region.

Beyond the role of public health intervention in tackling disease and prolonging life, the book measures the social and political determinants of health which continue to exist in the postcolonial era. The volume features contributions from scholars across both the social sciences and humanities, exploring ongoing debates across a broad range of themes, including:

- Infopolitics, biopolitics and healthcare.

- Emerging infectious diseases, environment and food cultures.

- Health interventions and economic security.

- Church administration and healthcare.

- Livelihood, sex, sexuality and HIV/AIDS.

Offering a fresh and insightful understanding of health issues in this important global region, and including chapters on issues around the Covid-19 pandemic, the book will interest students and researchers across a range of disciplines, including global health, politics and African studies.
