Recenzje

Contributing authors identify struggles around intellectual property rights, medicines, and wars on various diseases, also addressing activism in the "shout loudest" social media culture. Some nuanced and useful case studies are included, e.g., an account of the digitization of Danish health care, or analysis of breast cancer social movement narratives. The book supports health care activism unabashedly.
