Radical Health

Reviews / Votes

"Radical Health is a necessary and timely intervention in the fields of critical race and disability studies. Julie Avril Minich challenges us to nuance our approaches to health as a structural and social issue. This book is immensely valuable to anyone studying health in the United States today, especially in the wake of the mass disablement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic." - Sami Schalk, author of (Black Disability Politics) "By drawing attention to the racialized, economic, and gendered forms of violence imposed on Latinx communities by the US healthcare system, Radical Health will alter the way that both Latinx studies and disability studies are practiced. I cannot stress how important this book is. Its urgency and timeliness makes it essential reading for everyone committed to the struggle for health justice." - Richard T. Rodriguez, author of (A Kiss Across the Ocean: Transatlantic Intimacies of British Post-Punk and US Latinidad) "Julie Avril Minich's Radical Health powerfully argues for the political interventions of Latinx aesthetic work. She claims art as a social justice tool, asserting its capacity to critique dominant conceptions of health by reimagining the current and possible contexts in which individuals make about their bodyminds."
