Human health is shaped by the interactions between social and ecological systems. In States of Disease, Brian King advances a social ecology of health framework to demonstrate how historical spatial formations contribute to contemporary vulnerabilities to disease and the opportunities for health justice. He examines how expanded access to antiretroviral therapy is transforming managed HIV in South Africa. And he reveals how environmental health is shifting due to global climate change and flooding variability in northern Botswana. These case studies illustrate how the political environmental context shapes the ways in which health is embodied, experienced, and managed.

“King presents fresh new ways of thinking about the ways in which political and economic environments shape human health, and his in-depth examples, born from years in the field and a deep understanding of the local, social, and political environments he studies, sheds light on how these broad processes shape both health vulnerability as well as public health responses to these health threats.”
