Edited by Dennis Raphael, Toba Bryant and Marcia Rioux

Staying Alive: Critical Perspectives on Health, Illness and Health Care is a Canadian text that looks at health and healthcare through the lens of social epidemiology, critical sociology, political economics and human rights. These perspectives and analyses provide dramatic new insights into our understanding of health and healthcare. The editors have drawn on the work of 20 authors (including their own) to provide a rich and comprehensive approach to the subject.
