globally shared experience, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected societies
across the world in radically different ways. This book examines the
unique implications of the pandemic in the Global South. With
international contributors from a variety of disciplines including
health, economics and geography, the book investigates the pandemic's
effects on development, medicine, gender (in)equality and human rights,
among other issues. Its analysis illuminates further subsequent crises
of interconnection, a pervasive health provision crisis and a resulting
rise in socioeconomic inequality. The book's assessment offers an urgent
discourse on the ways in which the impact of COVID-19 can be mitigated
in some of the most challenging socioeconomic contexts in the world.
