Political economist Raj Patel and physician Rupa Marya illuminate the hidden relationships between human health and the injustices of our political and economic systems. In doing so, they offer a radical new cure: the deep medicine of decolonization. Journeying through the human body - our digestive, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems - Marya and Patel show how inflammation is connected not just to the food that we eat, the air that we breathe and access to healthcare, but is also linked to traumatic events people experience and the very model of health that doctors practice: one which takes things apart, rather than seeking to bring ideas and lived experiences together.
