Based primarily on women's experiential narratives and set against the backdrop of a severe economic crisis and intensified social movement activism post-2001, Bodies in Crisis illuminates how multiple forms of injustice converge in and are contested through women's bodies. Sutton reveals the bodily scars of neoliberal globalization; women's negotiation of cultural norms of femininity and beauty; experiences with clandestine, illegal, and unsafe abortions; exposure to and resistance against interpersonal and structural violence; and the role of bodies as tools and vehicles of political action. Through the lens of women's body consciousness in a Global South country, and drawing on multifaceted stories and a politically embedded approach, Bodies in Crisis suggests that social policy, economic systems, cultural ideologies, and political resistance are ultimately fleshly matters.WomenPolitical activityArgentinaSocial movementsArgentinaCommunity developmentArgentinaWomenPolitical activitySocial movementsCommunity development305.420982/090511306.4Sutton Barbara1970-1500387MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781126403321Bodies in crisis3730413UNINA
