About the Book

Managing Chronicity in Unequal States investigates how people live with chronic conditions in different contexts around the world, where judgements on human worth have long-lasting effects on people's wellbeing.

About the Author :
Laura Montesi is a CONACyT (National Council of Science and Technology) researcher and lecturer at the Centre for Research and Advanced Studies in Social Anthropology (CIESAS) in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico. Her work focuses on the lived experiences and social representations of diabetes and other chronic conditions in Mexico. Melania Calestani is Senior Lecturer at Kingston University and St George’s, University of London (UK). Her work has focused on religious and medical pluralism in Bolivia, and on processes of decision-making and patient-centred care in the UK.

Review :
'Managing Chronicity complicates conventional understandings of chronicity by probing the politics of care, deservedness, and the stark inequalities that persistently mark our global society. It reveals the deficits of contemporary healthcare and welfare systems, underscoring the detrimental outcomes of the reductionist biomedical approach to chronic disease.' Medical Anthropology Quarterly 'The collection demonstrates how managing chronicity in unequal states becomes a shared experience for a constantly increasing number of people. Cultural, socio-economic and political aspects of care shed light on the fragility of healthcare systems based on biomedical standards and capitalist logic. Yet this volume is far from attempting to generalise people's diverse experience in an easy answer about where chronicity comes from. On the contrary, the contributors emphasise that their optics are only providing a new perspective on previously studied phenomena. This is precisely why this book is an important contribution to contemporary medical anthropology, and why it will also be of use for sociologists of medicine and care' Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
