"The Politics of Care: from COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter" is a new collection of essays published by Boston Review and Verso Books. Contributors, including Yale School of Public Health professor Gregg Gonsalves and yalelawschool's Amy Kapczynski, imagine a world that promotes the health and well-being of all. They insist the way forward is a new kind of politics—a politics of care—that centers people’s basic needs and connections to fellow citizens, the global community, and the natural world. The title and first chapter of the book come from an essay (link in bio) by Gonsalves and Kapczynski, where they argue for rebuilding our economy from the ground up through a #NewDeal for #PublicHealth, putting people to work in a massive jobs program to secure the public health of all. ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #books #ThisIsPublicHealth #PublicHealthForAll #PoliticsOfCare #BookClub #economy #Covid19 #coronavirus #ReadingList
