Please join Global Public Health in celebrating the launch of our newest special issue:

Social inequities and contemporary struggles for collective health in Latin America

This special issue considers the legacy of the Latin American Social Medicine and Collective Health (LASM-CH) movements and other key approaches—including human rights activism and popular opposition to neoliberal governance—that have each distinguished struggles for collective health in Latin America during the 20th and now into the 21st century.

At a time when global health worldwide has been pushed to adopt increasingly conservative agendas in the wake of global financial crisis, the rise of radical-right populist politics, and the rupture of liberal democratic regimes, attention to legacies of Latin America’s epistemological innovations and social movement action are especially warranted. Examining the nexus of activism, policy, and health equity, the collection advances understanding of health politics in the region and the lessons they offer.

This special issue includes four Free Access articles. We invite you to share the links to these articles (see below) and details about the special issue across your networks.
