This book showcases the disproportionate impact of state responses to COVID-19 on marginalized communities. The authors analyse the lockdowns, border controls, vaccine trials, income support and access to healthcare across eight countries in Australasia, North America, Asia and Europe to reveal the internal inequities within and between countries.
Contributing to debates around the effects of the pandemic, and racial capitalism and neoliberal globalization at large, this invaluable study will inform future policy and research.
