Entanglements of Rare Diseases in the Baltic Sea Region
Drawing on ethnographic studies of the lived experiences of people with rare diseases, this volume critically examines rare, chronic diseases in the context of care, kinship, and technologies, providing in-depth analyses of local worlds that usually remain at the peripheries of medical anthropological inquiry.
Drug Use, Recovery, and Maternal Instinct Bias
Drug Use, Recovery, and Maternal Instinct Bias: A Biocultural and Social-Ecological Approach draws upon theoretical perspectives in anthropology and public health to provide insight into the barriers women experience when seeking treatment for substance use disorders. In both theoretical perspectives in biological anthropology and social discourse within the United States, there is an emphasis on explaining why women avoid (or should avoid) using psychoactive substances during their reproductive years, especially during pregnancy.

Agency and Bodily Autonomy in Systems of Care
Agency and Bodily Autonomy in Systems of Care examines the ways in which humans and their bodies become enmeshed in various systems of care. Seven case studies demonstrate the ways in which people lose, negotiate, establish, or impose bodily autonomy in diverse contexts. Diverse methods and perspectives from cultural and medical anthropology, bioarchaeology and public health establish the need for advocacy and policy change to improve health outcomes by re-envisioning systems of care as spaces that include room for individual agency and bodily autonomy. This volume explores diverse subjects to promote advocacy for patient-centered care and bodily autonomy, and for liberation from over-medicalization.
Negotiating the Pandemic
This book centers on negotiations around cultural, governmental, and individual constructions of COVID-19. It considers how the coronavirus pandemic has been negotiated in different cultures and countries, with the final part of the volume focusing on South Asia and Pakistan in particular. The chapters include auto-ethnographic accounts and ethnographic explorations that reflect upon experiences of living with the pandemic and its implications for all areas of life. The book explicates people’s dealings with COVID-19 at various levels, situates the spread of rumors, conspiracy theories, and new social rituals within micro- and/or macro-contexts, and describes the interplay between the virus and various institutionalized forms of inequalities and structural vulnerabilities. Bringing together a variety of perspectives, the volume relates to the past, describes the Covidian present, and offers futuristic implications. It enlists distinct imaginaries based on current understandings of an extraordinary challenge that holds significant importance for our human future.

Rey Blanco. Biały Król
KONIEC TO DOPIERO POCZĄTEK „Mam nadzieję, że o mnie nie zapomniałaś. Zagramy?” Kiedy Antonia Scott otrzymuje tę wiadomość, doskonale wie, kto ją wysłał. Wie też, że w tej grze prawie nie da się wygrać. A Antonia nie lubi przegrywać. Uciekała, ale rzeczywistość w końcu ją dogoniła. Antonia ma czarny pas w okłamywaniu samej siebie, ale teraz jest dla niej jasne, że jeśli przegra tę bitwę, przegra całą wojnę. – Królowa to najsilniejsza figura na szachownicy – mówi Biały Król. – Ale bez względu na to, jak jest silna, nie może zapominać, że zawsze jest ręka, która ją przesuwa. – To się jeszcze okaże – odpowiada Antonia.
