Reviews
“This superb, timely monograph . . . is both collaborative and activist. . . . AbadÍa-Barrero’s decade of intense fieldwork along with his local knowledge has enabled him to produce a vivid, astutely rendered ethnography.” - Carole Browner (H-Sci-Med-Tech, H-Net Reviews) ""This book calls on us to fight for health care that no longer leaves so many people in the public hospital waiting area, condemned to a precarious survival, while offering treatment in private hospitals to those who can pay. ... Health in Ruins makes a fundamental contribution to current scholarly debates on the embodiment of social inequalities brought about by capitalist ideology."" - Ivana Teixeira (American Ethnologist)
