Book Talk | We Wait for a Miracle: Health Care and the Forcibly Displaced by Muhammad H. Zaman [[link removed]]
Thursday, March. 7 // 10:00 am–12:00 pm (ET)
In We Wait for a Miracle [[link removed]] , Muhammad H. Zaman shares moving stories that span seven countries—Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Colombia, and Venezuela— to highlight the experiences and everyday struggles of refugees and the displaced people in accessing the health care they need. “ In this book, Zaman pushes past statistics and stereotypes to write with complexity, urgency, and insight about health crises facing displaced people. Using the lived experience of the displaced people, Zaman spotlights three factors that influence access to health care: presence or absence of trust between the provider and patient, social network, and policy environment.
Join the Refugee and Forced Displacement Initiative for a book discussion with the author, and discussants Megan Daigle and Paul B. Spiegel. The speakers will highlight the multifaceted relationship between the displaced people and the local host community and how that affects access to health care; key lessons that would shape policy and our understanding of the displaced people’s access to health services; neglected policy areas that need visibility in refugee health discourse; and the importance of lived experience and storytelling.

Maier looks to the political and economic impulses that propelled societies through a century when territorial states and transnational forces both claimed power, engaging sometimes as rivals and sometimes as allies.
