This important volume highlights the intersection of culture and health equity in new and provocative ways. The chapter on immigrant health in an era of insecurity and xenophobia is alone worth the price of admission - but the reader also gets a panorama of voices covering rural issues, employer responsibilities, climate change, media representations, the crisis of overincarceration, and so much more. Highly recommended.
