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.
