For nearly thirty years, anthropologist and physician Paul Farmer has traveled to some of the most impoverished places on earth to bring comfort and the best possible medical care to the poorest of the poor. Driven by his stated intent to "make human rights substantial," Farmer has treated patients—and worked to address the root causes of their disease—in Haiti, Boston, Peru, Rwanda, and elsewhere in the developing world. In 1987, with several colleagues, he founded Partners In Health to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. Throughout his career, Farmer has written eloquently and extensively on these efforts. Partner to the Poor collects his writings from 1988 to 2009 on anthropology, epidemiology, health care for the global poor, and international public health policy, providing a broad overview of his work. It illuminates the depth and impact of Farmer’s contributions and demonstrates how, over time, this unassuming and dedicated doctor has fundamentally changed the way we think about health, international aid, and social justice.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Partners In Health.

It takes about ten years for a human being to master a field. Paul Farmer has mastered the craft of providing medical care in resource-poor environments. He has also spent more than 10 years thinking and writing about social causes of diseases and of these environments.

Dr. Farmer writes clearly and unsparingly about his experiences and about the changes he would like to see in the world. That poor people want to be healthy just as much as rich people. That social interventions such as healthy food and home visits (accompagnateurs) make measurable differences in outcomes. That a lot of "it won't work" arguments are really "we don't want to try" arguments.

He mixes brutal realism -- stories about people whose lives go downhill until they die -- with unkillable optimism -- just do this, and this, and lots more people can lead healthy lives.

Read this book. Then go out and do something.

Paul Farmer Rocks

Commenté aux États-Unis le 15 mai 2011

I think this is an excellent anthology of his writings. I had read several of his books before and this is an excellent place to read excerpts and parts of his books through the years. If anyone wants to learn about Haiti I think Paul Farmer is amazing (for any non-local). Why his writings are so valuable is he shows how complex Haiti (or almost any society) is. One cannot address just one aspect of a society needing help, unless you address the underlying causes. He debunks myths. . So far everything I have seen through him and Partners in Health he is one hugely compassionate and educated people. Who (so far) does not have a swelled head. If you are interested in Haiti read this book.

Everyone should read this book

Commenté aux États-Unis le 20 avril 2010

Editor Haun Saussy has done a fine job of organizing this collection of some of Paul Farmer's diverse publications, placing the articles in contexts which will enhance the reader's appreciation. However, a reader could open "Partners to the Poor" at random, start reading and be inspired by Farmer's perspectives. Farmer's unique intelligence, deep morality and sharp humor are expressed on nearly every page. Moreover, the reader will want to know more, through Farmer's thoughts on the subsequent pages and through the reader's own reinvigorated thinking.

Paul Farmer connects material and ideas from scientific, medical, sociological, anthropological, and literary fields, and from personal and professional experience on several continents over several decades, always privileging the perspectives of the poor thereby providing many fresh ways for readers to understand the relationship between the rich world and the poor world. And Farmer provides the reader with new ways to think about reducing inequalities between those two worlds.

Many topics and descriptions of Farmer's patients' lives are heart-rending, but one also emerges joyful to be a human after being in Paul Farmer's written presence.

Multidisciplinary Approachs to Understanding and Ending Poverty Work

Commenté aux États-Unis le 2 novembre 2010

Achat vérifié

If you want a multidisciplinary approach to poverty from an anthropologist who is also an physician than this is the book for you. Farmer covers history, gender, medical diagnosis, food insecurity, religion, politics in both a professional/academic manner and with wonderful stories and biographies of those whom he has worked with and treated. This is a long read and the pages are packed with information. I made notes in both the front and back of my book with particular regards to the effects of poverty/sexism on women, Paul Farmer and his organization Partners in Health and general poverty/political/historical facts primarily from Haiti but also from other diverse places. I also know much more about the interaction of various diseases of the poor (HIV, TB, malaria). You will also learn how US and European colonialism have stripped countries like Haiti and Africa of their ability to be self-sufficient and continue to do so today.

If you are working in the developing world then you need to read this book.

A nice selection of his work.

Commenté aux États-Unis le 8 février 2011

Achat vérifié

Paul Farmer's work is extraordinary and inspiring, and this collection of his work is great, especially for those in Public Health/International medicine. For those who enjoyed Kidder's biography and want to know more, beware--Dr. Farmer's writing style is not an easy read. Sometimes the sentences are so convoluted and dense I read them out to my husband for a laugh! Still I enjoy having it on my shelf at work (HIV prevention health scientist) for a quick inspiration-escape.
