January/February 2013
Medicine has always been implicated in torture. In this issue of Briarpatch, Baijayanta Mukhopadhyay looks at the role of doctors in national security and the politics of pain. Isabeau Doucet and Justin Podur discuss Canada’s role in Haiti’s new dictatorship, and Briarpatch editor emeritus Dave Oswald Mitchell tackles the topics of drugs, gangs, and Harper’s war on the poor.
