Reviews

Bodily Subjects -- ambitious and diverse in scope -- contributes to histories of health and medicine, cultural studies, and gender studies, by making links explicit across these fields. Erika Dyck, University of Saskatchewan This volume offers significant historical context for understanding developments in the medical profession and public health programs. Advanced students and scholars in sociology, anthropology, history, or gender studies may find this specialized book us


Bodily Subjects takes the concept of health as fluid and historically contingent, seeking to understand how that concept is raced, classed, and gendered over time and across societies. It will be of great interest to readers in a wide array of fields. Rima Apple, School of Human Ecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
