By Camille Burnett
Inequities and health disparities are the greatest and most pressing social issues of our time. This book, “Justice in Health,” explores the critical intersection of public health and social justice. Written by Camille Burnett, the book delves into the systemic and structural factors that contribute to health disparities, offering a fresh perspective on how we approach health and what it truly means to be healthy in our society.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought these health disparities to the forefront. The devastating impact of the virus has disproportionately affected Black and Brown populations, highlighting the urgent need for action and change. As social movements to end racism gain momentum, many are seeking to reframe our narratives and envision a more equitable future. “Justice in Health” provides a unique tool for professionals and individuals alike to challenge outdated thinking and embrace new approaches to public health.

The book encourages readers to think deeply and pragmatically about public health as a space for addressing these pressing issues. The author explores an ideological shift in how we conceptualize health and how we can better prepare healthcare providers to address the social determinants of health. By examining our beliefs, systems, and structures, the book aims to reconstruct a more just system of care where health is intentionally co-created.

“Justice in Health” covers a wide range of topics, from a historical examination of our beliefs about health to a discussion of the social determinants of health. It sheds light on the opportunities that public health creates for healthcare and offers practical guidance for professionals and decision-makers in the field. The book is also a valuable resource for instructors, academics, researchers, and students across disciplines such as nursing, medicine, public health, sociology, and social work.
