Disaster governance, energy insecurity, and public health in rural Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico, an unincorporated US territory, faces systemic governmental neglect that disproportionately affects public health, particularly in the wake of disasters. Systemic patterns of political corruption, and post-disaster mismanagement, rooted in colonial governance, have shaped PR’s longstanding vulnerability reflecting in frequent power outages and energy delays. This study examines political abandonment feelings in Puerto Rico through th…
Beyond financial incentives
Puerto Rico faces a significant health crisis due to the mass migration of physicians to the United States, exacerbating the challenge of achieving the World Health Organisation's recommended physician-to-population ratio. While economic factors such as higher salaries in the US have been identified as primary drivers, the complexity of this migration wave requires a deeper exploration. This study quantitatively examines the role of push factors,…
Powering well-being
They think we wear loincloths
Puerto Rico (PR) is facing an unprecedented healthcare crisis due to accelerating migration of physicians to the mainland United States (US), leaving residents with diminishing healthcare and excessively long provider wait times. While scholars and journalists have identified economic factors driving physician migration, our study analyzes the effects of spatial stigma within the broader context of coloniality as unexamined dimensions of physicia…

Since 2000, an exodus of Puerto Ricans leaving the island has reduced the local population by almost 20 per cent. One of the migratory waves of greatest concern is that of physicians due to its potential impact on Puerto Rico’s (PR) public health. Strategies to curtail their migration have overlooked the island’s unique cultural and geographic strengths that could encourage physicians to stay. This article, influenced by place attachment theory, …

Miami in Transformation during the Covid-19 Pandemic
While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been felt around the world, Miami, Florida is one example of the specific and unique ways in which this pandemic is experienced. Drawing on the concepts of visual culture analysis and disaster literature, this article analyses how the COVID-19 pandemic transformed the everyday lives of people living in this subtropical American city. Specifically, this study draws on data collected from a digital part…
No trabajaré pa' ellos
Strict state policies and regulations restrict private-sector growth in Cuba. And yet, many people (scholars and others) view Cuban entrepreneurialism as a celebrated feature of recent Cuban economic transformations. Entrepreneurship usually surges under more liberalized circumstances, where resources are more readily available or individual economic actors are given opportunities to use their flexibility to innovate new or enhanced products and …
Coping with stress and anxiety
This study explores how the labor practices and experiences post-deportation contribute or exacerbate health vulnerabilities for deported Dominican male. Using an ethnographic approach and drawing from the participant’s narratives, we seek to describe and compare the labor and health vulnerabilities for Dominican deportees in the two Dominican industries where they are most likely to work – call centers and tourism. We argue that these health vul…
Introduction to the special issue
This introduction presents a special issue of Global Public Health with a collection of articles that offer multidisciplinary perspectives on HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean. Since the 1990s, poverty, marginalisation, and social stigma have been strong foci of much social science research on HIV/AIDS in the region. These three interrelated phenomena have been offered as explanatory factors contributing to the high prevalence of cases observed in this r…
