About the Book
Throughout the twentieth century, politcally engaged and socially committed U.S. health professionals - doctors, nurses, and other health workers - have worked in solidarity with progressive movements around the world as comrades with people struggling for social justice, equity, and the right to health. By presenting a combination of historical accounts and firsthand reflections, this collection of essays aims to draw attention to the longstanding international activities of the American health left and the lessons they brought home, against the background of foreign and domestic policy, social movements, and global politics. -- from back cover.
