When Misfortune Becomes Injustice 2023
When Misfortune Becomes Injustice: Evolving Human Rights Struggles for Health and Social Equality is a 2020 book written by American legal scholar and global health advocate Alicia Ely Yamin. Published in 2020 as part of the Stanford Studies in Human Rights series, the book was later updated with a significantly expanded second edition in 2023 by Stanford University Press, incorporating insights from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yamin explores how health has emerged as a human rights issue from the 1970s through the COVID-19 pandemic. She draws upon case studies and her personal involvement in advocacy, law, and global health to analyze connections between health rights, democracy, inequality, and global economic governance.
The first edition’s Korean translation appeared in 2022.
