Paul Farmer, MD, PhD, Kolokotrones University Professor and chair, Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School; co-founder, Partners In Health

"This superb book is the best work yet concerning the relationships between public health and social justice."
Howard Waitzkin, MD, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of New Mexico

"This book gives public health professionals, researchers and advocates the essential knowledge they need to capture the energy that social justice brings to our enterprise."
Nicholas Freudenberg, DrPH, Distinguished Professor of Public Health, the City University of New York School of Public Health at Hunter College
