Within this framework, poor health--obesity, asthma, diabetes, STIs, addiction, and high-risk pregnancies--is attributed to irresponsible lifestyle choices among the racialized poor. Countering this, Latinx writers and visual artists envision health not as individual duty but as communal responsibility. Bringing a disability justice approach to questions of health access and equity, Minich locates a concept of \u003ci\u003eradical health\u003c\/i\u003e within the work of Latinx artists, including the poetry of Rafael Campo, the music of Hurray for the Riff Raff, the fiction of Angie Cruz, and the performance art of Virginia Grise. Radical health operates as a modality that both challenges the stigma of unhealth and protests the social conditions that give rise to racial health disparities. Elaborating on this modality, Minich claims a critical role for Latinx artists in addressing the structural racism in public health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulie Avril Minich is Associate Professor of English and Mexican American and Latina\/o Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, coeditor of \u003ci\u003eCrip Genealogies\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Duke University Press, and author of \u003ci\u003eAccessible Citizenships: Disability, Nation, and the Cultural Politics of Greater Mexico\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 27, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45821556752581,"sku":"9781478025252","price":43.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/clTmBYOHMK9781478025252_ad5546fa-52cd-4d52-8427-bbd1cde7abae.webp?v=1771089538","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/radical-health-unwellness-care-and-latinx-expressive-culture-paperback-2","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
