COVID-19, the global south and the pandemic's development impact / edited by Gerard McCann, Nita Mishra and Pádraig Carmody ; with a foreword by Colm Brophy. - Bristol : Bristol University Press, 2022. - xviii, 206 pages : black and white illustrations

"Though a 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."--
