By Hannah Dyer

Medical Entanglements
Rethinking Feminist Debates about Healthcare
Rutgers University Press
Medical Entanglements uses intersectional feminist, queer, and crip theory to move beyond “for or against” approaches to medicine. Drawing on case studies, the book argues that most medical interventions will simultaneously reinforce inequality and alleviate individual suffering. Thus, the book argues that feminists should allow individuals choice in regards to medical intervention, while working to dismantle systems of oppression.

Drawing on her ethnographic work among the Akimel O'odham and the Wiradjuri, Carolyn Smith-Morris shows how communal work and culture help these communities form distinctive indigenous bonds.
