Beyond the Virus

Stark social inequalities have been revealed and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This book explores these inequalities through three thematic strands: power and governance, gender, and marginalized communities. Through its examination, the book uncovers how unequal the pandemic truly is.

“This important series of essays offers a hugely valuable international and interdisciplinary insight into the multiple forms of inequality which have been exposed and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.” Keith Syrett, University of Bristol

“Alarmed by how lopsided social injustices get exacerbated under a global health crisis, Germain and Yong have assembled an impressive set of international contributors sharing their concerns. They emerged from this murky field with a wide-ranging account that is at once clarifying, devastating, and hopeful.” Marie-Andrée Jacob, University of Leeds
