The volume features contributions from scholars across both the social sciences and humanities, exploring ongoing debates across a broad range of themes, including:- Infopolitics, biopolitics and healthcare. – Emerging infectious diseases, environment and food cultures.- Health interventions and economic security.- Church administration and healthcare.- Livelihood, sex, sexuality and HIV/AIDS.Offering a fresh and insightful understanding of health issues in this important global region, and including chapters on issues around the Covid-19 pandemic, the book will interest students and researchers across a range of disciplines, including global health, politics and African studies.
