'This book reveals the faultlines of inequality and racism in global health formed by colonialism and how they continue to shape global public health practice. It is a powerful and painful reminder that the effects of colonialism are still apparent today. A must read for those who care about justice and equity in health.'

'Hirsch offers us a compelling and original account linking anti-Blackness to the spatialization and coloniality of contemporary global health practice, and the racial politics of care during a public health emergency.'

'In this conceptually ambitious polemic, Hirsch adroitly applies concepts from Black Studies to identify and critique hidden layers of racial bias in epidemic responses. Hirsh's innovative thinking and compassionate narrative make this book essential reading in critical global health studies.'
