Social Justice as Epidemic Control: Two Latin American Case Studies
1a Institute for International and Public Affairs , Brown University , Providence , Rhode Island , USA.
Abstract:
In this article, we draw on two cases-one of the reproductive justice movements in the wake of the Latin American Zika epidemic, and one of an environmental justice movements spurred by an epidemic of chronic kidney disease among sugarcane workers-to argue for social justice as an "elastic" technology of epidemic control. In its compressed form, social justice simply refers to the fair distribution of medical goods. In its expanded form, it emphasizes the recognition and representation not just of medical problems, but of entangled histories of racial, gendered, and economic inequity.
