By: Eugene T RichardsonA physician-anthropologist explores how public health practices--from epidemiological modeling to outbreak containment--help perpetuate global inequities.
In Epidemic Illusions, Eugene Richardson, a physician and an anthropologist, contends that public health practices--from epidemiological modeling and outbreak containment to Big Data and causal inference--play an essential role in perpetuating a range of global inequities. Drawing on postcolonial theory, medical anthropology, and critical science studies, Richardson demonstrates the ways in which the flagship discipline of epidemiology has been shaped by the colonial, racist, and patriarchal system that had its inception in 1492.
Deploying a range of rhetorical tools and drawing on his clinical work in a variety of epidemics, including Ebola in West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo, leishmania in the Sudan, HIV/TB in southern Africa, diphtheria in Bangladesh, and SARS-CoV-2 in the United States, Richardson concludes that the biggest epidemic we currently face is an epidemic of illusions—one that is propagated by the coloniality of knowledge production.

Rhymes with schmosticka
Size: Large, Color: White/Black Flower, Size: Large, Color: White/Black Flower
Hey, so I need to return this shirt I ordered for my son's upcoming prom. When I took another look at the pattern, it seems it might be more appropriate for a White Nationalist formal, not the event my son will be attending. Rhymes with schmosticka. Yikes.

Nice Shorts!
Color: Khaki, Size: 40
The Tacvasen Men's Cargo Shorts are comfortable and fit really well. The elastic waist band makes all the difference in the world. I don't even have to wear a belt to keep my shorts up. They are made of cotton twill so I'm sure they will be durable as well. I picked the kaki color. I feel that I got good value for my dollar. I would purchase them again and recommend them to other's.

Nice pair of shorts…
Color: Navy, Size: 34
They fit as described, wash well and the pockets are ample. I wasn’t thrilled with the waistband at first but my mind was changed and it turns out to be a good feature with or without a belt. They’re affordable and the quality of the fabric is nice. They wash well too! Not too short, not too long and I believe it will be a durable pair of shorts. Overall very satisfied and would recommend…
