Health Inequality
Polity Press (Verlag)
978-1-5095-5716-5 (ISBN)
The third edition of this popular book closely examines the influence of social class, gender, and race/ethnicity (among other issues) on health in the light of broad macro-political contexts. The classic behavioural, psychosocial, and material approaches to health and their embodiment within a life-course perspective are introduced but, importantly, are also re-situated within the growing understanding of the commercial and political determinants of health. Bartley and Kelly-Irving draw on extensive new evidence that shows how the chances for everyone to lead a long and healthy life depend on where power lies to control health-damaging policies and introduce health-promoting ones.
Health Inequality will continue to be essential reading for students taking courses in the sociology of health and illness, social policy and welfare, health sciences, public health and epidemiology and all those interested in understanding the consequences of social inequality for health.
Mel Bartley is Professor Emerita of Medical Sociology at the UCL Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care. Michelle Kelly-Irving is Director of Research at Inserm-Université Paul Sabatier.
