Review Quotes: "It's quite a moment to pick up Alicia Ely Yamin's excellent book When Misfortune Becomes Injustice: Evolving Human Rights Struggles for Health and Social Equality. The recently released second edition is an informed, engaging, and deeply insightful stocktaking of limited but real advancements in the right to health, understood in the context of skyrocketing inequality and a prevailing global economic order that has rendered the fulfillment of that right all but impossible."--Rebecca Riddell, Health and Human Rights Journal
