{"product_id":"making-uncertainty-anna-versfeld-9781978822474","title":"Making Uncertainty: Tuberculosis, Substance Use, and Pathways to Health in South Africa","description":"In Cape Town, South Africa, many people with tuberculosis also use substances. This sets up a seemingly impossible problem: People who use substances are at increased risk of tuberculosis disease; and substance use seems to result in erratic behavior that makes successful treatment of people affected by tuberculosis extremely difficult. People affected don't get healthy, healthcare providers are frustrated, and families seek to balance love and care for those who are ill with self-protection. How are we to understand this? Where does the responsibility for poor health and healing lie? What are the possibilities for an effective healthcare response? Through a close look at lives and care, \u003ci\u003eMaking Uncertainty: Tuberculosis, Substance Use, and Pathways to Health\u003c\/i\u003e shows how patterns of substance use, tuberculosis disease, and their interaction are shaped by history, social context, and political economy. This, in turn, generates new perspectives on what makes poor health, and what good care might look like.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Versfeld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978822472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978822474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.91w x 0.55d","brand":"Anna Versfeld","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078755053823,"sku":"9781978822474","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26c913b7-89d0-4c9d-a178-6347d9af5c8c.jpg?v=1685477327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-uncertainty-anna-versfeld-9781978822474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
