Intersectional and thoughtful look at what chronic illness means worldwide, and how the label "chronic" can lead to oversights by the medical industry. Well-done collection. Glad I got the opportunity to read it.
This collection of studies examines chronic illness through an international anthropological lens, particularly around issues of gender and generationality. There are some interesting notes on how chronicity changes the experience of time, day to day and in relation to life stages. It seems like there's much more to say about globalized structures of violence and environmental toxicity/illness causes that belongs in such a collection. And at times, there's too much emphasis on crafting an all-encompassing definition of "chronicity" than on truly acknowledging how chronic illness experiences differ across personal, interpersonal, regional, national, and international frames of reference.
