Surveys how patients with chronic conditions navigate unequal healthcare systems around the world.
 
Managing Chronicity in Unequal States offers a global survey of how people experience chronic conditions—from Alzheimer’s patients institutionalized in the United Kingdom to homeless people with psychiatric disorders in India. Contributors explore how communities navigate stratified healthcare systems whose unspoken attitudes toward human worth negatively affect their wellbeing. Whether the state intrudes into their intimate lives or abandons them to a market-driven runaround, the authors find that people with chronic conditions must negotiate (inter)dependencies in both professional and personal relationships primarily defined by inequality.
