For this book display we focussed on the important topic of decolonialisation; LSHTM have said “Global health is about equity and justice. We believe that global health institutions must fight, not reinforce, racial and national hierarchies and exploitative systems”.
The display features several books the library stores surrounding the topic of decolonialisation for example, ‘Empire: A Very Short Introduction’ by Stephen Howe; ‘Malarial Subjects: Empire, Medicine and Nonhumans in British India’ by Rohan Deb Roy; ‘Decolonizing International Health’ by Sunil S. Amrith; ‘Decolonising the University’ by Gurminder K. Bhambra, Dalia Gebrial and Kerem Nisancioglua and ‘Decolonizing Global Mental Health’ by China Mills.
