This book uses an expansive and recurring metaphor of inflammation to illustrate how bodies, societies, and even our planet react to colonialism, capitalism, racism, poverty, and more. I appreciated the focus on the health ramifications of injustice within society, rather than making health an individual problem that requires individual solutions. The authors extensively analyze and advocate for implementing traditional Indigenous knowledge systems as a solution to some of these problems. However, I think this argument is (ironically) quite colonial, as it represents another instance of settler societies taking from Indigenous people for their own gain. I don't think their point about how Indigenous lifeways are healthier for us and our planet is wrong or bad, but it certainly could have benefitted from more nuance about how to center and benefit Indigenous people. One other thing I despised about this book is that it's deeply fatphobic, which is shameful for a text that examines so many other interconnected social justice issues. Overall I liked the main message of this book-- that global inequality, a legacy of colonialism, racial capitalism, etc. have far-reaching effects on individual and collective health-- but feel that a lot of the details could have been more carefully and critically examined.
