"This fantastic book paints an ambitious and sophisticated historical and ethnographic tableau of the global health field and the globalization of health during the last forty years or so. Articulated around a series of innovative themes, from political/economic triage to persistent hospitals to provincializing the WHO, the book is a must-read for anyone curious about the transformation of international health and biomedicine at the turn of the twentieth century." - David Reubi (co-editor of Global Health and Geographical Imaginaries) "Global Health for All challenges classic understandings of periodization of structures of international health versus a burgeoning global health movement to rethink the very foundations of what has emerged as practices aspiring toward 'health universalism' in the twenty-first century. The range of fascinating case studies, the scope of ideas, and the provocation for rethinking and new research is simply stunning. It is a book to be pondered, contested, and taught." - Byron Good (co-editor of A Reader in Medical Anthropology: Theoretical Trajectories, Emergent Realities) "This is a deeply thoughtful and brilliantly argued book that cuts across stale debates to offer a new framework for conceptualizing health in a globalized world. Its compelling analysis is both important and urgent-as COVID-19 becomes a pivotal moment for rethinking approaches to health, it is crucial that new knowledge and interventions be guided by conceptual and methodological imperatives such as those offered in Global Health for All." - Manjari Mahajan (Associate Professor of International Affairs & Starr Professor and Co-Director of the India China In) "[Makes] global health comprehensible through excellent examples of projects and policies to illustrate each of the points."(Family Medicine)
