Description
Discover the profound insights of **Cancer and the Kali Yuga**, a groundbreaking work by Cecilia Coale Van Hollen that sheds light on the harrowing realities faced by women battling reproductive cancers in India. This critical feminist ethnography brings to the forefront the unique perspectives of Dalit Tamil women, whose experiences with **breast and cervical cancer** challenge and enrich existing paradigms in public health discourse. With the alarming statistics of cancer mortality in **low-income Indian communities**, this book offers an in-depth exploration of how class, caste, and gender intersect to shape women's health outcomes. Van Hollen's narrative not only highlights the obstacles to cancer treatment but also critiques the political-economic systems that perpetuate marginalization. As global public health initiatives aim to improve cancer screening and prevention, understanding the lived realities of these women is crucial. **Cancer and the Kali Yuga** is essential reading for anyone interested in global health, feminist studies, and the complexities of health disparities. This essential resource is a call to acknowledge and uplift the voices of those often unheard in the discussions surrounding **reproductive cancer care**. A significant contribution to academic and public discourse, this book emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive approaches in tackling health issues in marginalized communities.
