Taking Health to the Streets in Puerto Rico [EPUB ebook] 
Resisting Gastronomic, Psychiatric, and Diabetes Colonialism

Taking Health to the Streets in Puerto Rico: Resisting Gastronomic, Psychiatric, and Diabetes Colonialism traces the ways in which diabetes, depression, and food insecurity interact under the rule of US colonization in Puerto Rico as well as the ways in which these illnesses are interlaced with contemporary culture, colonization, and politics. Central to the book, and critical to its unique creative significance and contribution, is the conceptual unification of politicized health and the embodiment of identity and social inequality in Puerto Rico. Ultimately, the advancement of health equity in Puerto Rico is a matter of decolonization, and vice versa.
