Health and Human Rights Journal Special Edition on Palestinian Health

Special journal section in the Health and Human Rights Journal (vol. 24, no. 2, December 2022), co-produced by the Institute of Community and Public Health at Birzeit University and the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University, bringing together interdisciplinary scholarship under the section titled Settler Colonialism, Structural Racism, and the Palestinian Right to Health. The collection includes an editorial and 6 articles covering the reconception of Palestinian health under settler colonialism (Asi, Hammoudeh, Mills, Tanous, and Wispelwey); racialized strategies of elimination as determinants of health (Bouquet, Muhareb, and Smith); emergency care in the OPT (Rosenbloom and Leff); COVID-19 vaccination and the logic of elimination (Howard and Schneider); Palestinian amputees in Gaza (Majadli and Ziv); outdoor play in a militarized zone (Shalhoub-Kevorkian and Quran); and mental health and human rights in the OPT (Helbich and Jabr). Essential for scholars and students working at the intersection of public health, human rights, and settler colonial studies, as this joint Birzeit-Harvard collection represents one of the most rigorous interdisciplinary treatments of structural racism and settler colonialism as determinants of Palestinian health available in the academic literature.
