Whew, what a dense read!
Feels like i'm struggling to read above my grade level lol. But I am enjoying it, paul farmer's background as an anthropologist really shines through in the way he writes. Its a very eye opening read to the systems that shape what we understand as "human rights" and access to care!
Favorite quote so far: "The poor are those whose greatest task is to try to survive"
