Gender, Health, and Society in Contemporary Latin America and the Caribbean takes a multilayered approach to the contemporary peoples of Latin America, the Caribbean, and Latinx peoples in the greater diaspora. Central to this edited collection, and critical to its creative significance and contribution, is the conceptual unification of gendered health, the embodiment of identity, societal structures, and social inequality, and the ways in which gender, health, and society intersect daily. By emphasizing the complex ways in which gender and health intersect in Latin America, the contributors to this collection offer a more detailed look at how gender embodies health inequities in these populations and how societal woes impact and constrain gendered bodies in public spheres.

A fascinating volume and invaluable resource, Gender, Health and Society in Latin America contains a collection of case studies from a diverse group of scholars exploring important intersectional questions about gender and health in Latin America and the Caribbean. The contributors use case studies, ethnographic research, and theory to create locally-defined critiques of gender and health that take into account such complex questions as race, sexuality, reproductive rights, (dis)abilities, age, and class. I highly recommend this book to any scholar interested in gaining a nuanced understanding of gender, health and society in Latin America and the Caribbean today. -- Beatriz Reyes-Foster, University of Central Florida
