About the book

Providing insight into the politics of the Ebola epidemic, Van Reisen's opening gambit is the claim that the UK government has repurposed a health crisis into a security challenge. Rather than discussing Ebola as a humanitarian crisis, the rhetoric surrounding it has been used to ramp up the fear and stigma surrounding African immigrants into the UK. Van Reisen offers an unusual solution to the lack of humane discourse in the media: promote more women.
