In 2014, a devastating virus spread through West Africa, affecting Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea and prompting fear and panic around the world. The Ebola crisis resulted in loss of life and economic disruption on a vast scale. Paul Farmer, the internationally renowned physician and anthropologist, experienced this outbreak firsthand, In Fever, Feuds, and Diamonds, Farmer offers the first substantive, on-the-ground account of this fast-moving medical catastrophe. He recounts the harrowing stories of Ebola victims while showing how racism and colonialism have morphed into present-day threats to public health. Today as the world faces epidemiological challenges on an even larger scale, Farmer insists that we cannot ignore the consequences of 2014.
