The system was intended, among other goals, to provide universal access to health care services and to redefine health as a citizen?s right and a duty of the state. A Right to Health explores how these goals have unfolded within an urban peripheral community located on the edges of the northeastern city of Fortaleza. Focusing on the decade 1998?2008 and the impact of health care reforms on one low-income neighborhood, Jessica Jerome documents the tensions that arose between the ideals of the reforms and their entanglement with pervasive socioeconomic inequality, neoliberal economic policy, and generational tension with the community. Using ethnographic and historical research, the book traces the history of political activism in the community, showing that, since the community?s formation in the early 1930s, residents have consistently fought for health care services. In so doing, Jerome develops a multilayered portrait of urban peripheral life and suggests that the notion of health care as a right of each citizen plays a major role not only in the way in which health care is allocated, but, perhaps more importantly, in how health care is understood and experienced. 410 0$aLouann Atkins Temple women & culture series ;$vbk. 37. 606 $aHealth care reform$xHistory$zBrazil 606 $aMedical care$zBrazil 606 $aMedical policy$xHistory$zBrazil 615 0$aHealth care reform$xHistory 615 0$aMedical care 615 0$aMedical policy$xHistory 676 $a362.10981 700 $aJerome$b Jessica Scott$01489744 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797038403321 996 $aA right to health$93710556 997 $aUNINA
