505 0  Introduction: Bearing witness; On suffering and structural
       violence; Pestilence and restraint; Lessons from Chiapas; 
       A plague on all our houses? -- One physician's perspective
       on human rights; Health, healing, and social justice; 
       Listening for prophetic voices; Cruel and unusual; New 
       malaise; Rethinking health and human rights -- Afterword. 
520    Pathologies of Power uses harrowing stories of life--and 
       death--in extreme situations to interrogate our 
       understanding of human rights. Paul Farmer, a physician 
       and anthropologist with twenty years of experience working
       in Haiti, Peru, and Russia, argues that promoting the 
       social and economic rights of the world's poor is the most
       important human rights struggle of our times. With 
       passionate eyewitness accounts from the prisons of Russia 
       and the beleaguered villages of Haiti and Chiapas, this 
       book links the lived experiences of individual victims to 
       a broader analysis of structural violence. Farmer 
       challenges conventional thinking within human rights 
       circles and exposes the relationships between political 
       and economic injustice, on one hand, and the suffering and
       illness of the powerless, on the other. Farmer shows that 
       the same social forces that give rise to epidemic diseases
       such as HIV and tuberculosis also sculpt risk for human 
       rights violations. He illustrates the ways that racism and
       gender inequality in the United States are embodied as 
       disease and death. Yet this book is far from a hopeless 
       inventory of abuse. Farmer's disturbing examples are 
       linked to a guarded optimism that new medical and social 
       technologies will develop in tandem with a more informed 
       sense of social justice. Otherwise, he concludes, we will 
       be guilty of managing social inequality rather than 
       addressing structural violence. Farmer's urgent plea to 
       think about human rights in the context of global public 
       health and to consider critical issues of quality and 
       access for the world's poor should be of fundamental 
       concern to a world characterized by the bizarre proximity 
       of surfeit and suffering.
