“…Like Meyers and Hunt, we believe Detroit's poor health outcomes and extreme income inequality are comparable to that of the "global South." 52 An important distinction to make, however, is that Detroit is located in the United States, which touts the largest economy in the world (a $16,800 billion gross domestic product in 2013). 53 Nevertheless, as Meyers and Hunt noted, "Detroiters may understand their predicaments as stemming from an American history of racism, riots, white flight, post-industrial ruin, and neoliberal-engineered bankruptcy, but also as very much a part of a global history about race, denigration, poverty, humiliation, and insult."…”

“…In a recent article published by The Lancet, authors Meyers and Hunt poignantly reflected, "Access to clean, affordable water is an issue that joins the challenges of providing a sanitary infrastructure for poor, rich, and the middle class in Detroit, Delhi, Lagos, and Johannesburg alike." 12 In the following commentary, we explore parallels between two timely and compelling water, human rights, and reproductive justice crises: systematic water shutoffs in Detroit and diminished access to water and sanitation services during Monrovia's Ebola outbreak. Rooted in the theories of postcolonial feminism 13 and intersectionality, 14 we employ an encompassing strategy 15 to illuminate global patterns in economics, social conditions, and ideologies as they affect water infrastructure, human rights, and women's health in predictable although unique ways in local contexts.…”

“…It must also be remembered that the broad corpus of global health research across the social sciences has concerned itself with an array of degraded environments and places linked to suffering from, for example, megacity slums (Austin ; Moser ; Oppong et al . ), to American inner cities (Meyers and Hunt ) and vector habitats (Hinchliffe ; Shaw et al . ).…”

“…In such settings, patients' experiences with TB care are 'bound by their poor access to essential resources, multiple life responsibilities (…) limits within the healthcare system, and the stigmatizing social symbolism of their illness' (Daftary & Padayatchi, 2012), as a study on South African HIV/TB care argued. Public health infrastructures are in place, and health and survival are not 'profoundly uncertain' (Meyers & Hunt, 2014). But uncertainty does affect many people, some with much more gravity than others.…”

“…More recently they have also begun to be investigated in Europe (Brand, Rosenkotter, Clemens, & Michelsen, 2013;Karanikolos et al, 2013;Stuckler & Basu, 2014). Studies working towards theorisations of impoverished locations and decaying medical infrastructures in the global North as an 'other global South' (Meyers & Hunt, 2014), and very recent studies on the relationship between austerity policies and the precarisation of health care in Southern Europe (Cabot, 2016;Kehr, 2014), have shown how processes of austerity and the privatisation of health care undermine North-South divisions, as similar stakes regarding infrastructural decline are at play, even if the scale and consequences of such processes are highly dependent on the location and the population. With this article I intend to participate in this nascent research field of austerity studies by showing how health professionals in the field of TB control in Berlin made sense of global economic phenomena such as public debt and structural adjustment as they slowly unfolded before their eyes at the end of the 2000s.…”
