| Publisher Description: Applying phenomenological notions of the body, this study investigates intersectional vulnerabilities, socio-geographical and racial injustices, as well as the potential of trauma in reproductive medicine, human trafficking and black-market organ trades in a local and global context. The author develops a post-colonial critique of what she calls 'flesh piracy' through the fine-tuned analyses of individual embodied experiences and also by inviting readers to ex¬periment with embodied exercises, thereby providing hands-on tools that can emphasize dignity and integrity, and support self-effica¬cy and human rights in the everyday lives of (not only) affected populations. Tying diverse readers' embodied selves to developments in science, art, diverse media, politics and global eco¬nomics, this book provides a well-rounded and ac¬cessible study of injustices and individual opportu¬nities for solidarity in the highly complex field of the life sciences. |
