For anyone wishing to think critically about chronic illness in cross-cultural perspective, the social forces shaping this issue, and its impact on the lived experiences of people worldwide, there is no better place to start than this pioneering volume." -- Richard Parker * Columbia University, Editor-in-Chief, Global Public Health *
