Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting: Stigma and the Undoing of Global Health
Explores the pervasive and harmful role of social stigma in global health issues. The book argues that public health campaigns often inadvertently create or intensify stigmas around conditions like obesity, mental illness, and practices such as sanitation, by blaming individuals for their circumstances. Through ethnographic research across various global locations, the authors illustrate how these stigmas lead to discrimination, emotional distress, and ultimately undermine effective health interventions, particularly impacting vulnerable populations. The text emphasizes the need for a shift from individual blame to a more holistic understanding that considers social, economic, and political factors contributing to health disparities.
