Taylor & Francis Ltd Autobiography of a Disease
Book SynopsisAutobiography of a Disease documents, in experimental form, the experience of extended life-threatening illness in contemporary US hospitals and clinics. The narrative is based primarily on the author's sudden and catastrophic collapse into a coma and long hospitalization thirteen years ago; but it has also been crafted from twelve years of research on the history of microbiology, literary representations of illness and medical treatment, cultural analysis of MRSA in the popular press, and extended autoethnographic work on medicalization. An experiment in form, the book blends the genres of storytelling, historiography, ethnography, and memoir. Unlike most medical memoirs, told from the perspective of the human patient, Autobiography of a Disease is told from the perspective of a bacterial cluster. This orientation is intended to represent the distribution of perspectives on illness, disability, and pain across subjective centersfrom patient to monitTrade ReviewPatrick Anderson’s Autobiography of a Disease offers a poetic and indispensible contribution to the growing body of literature that traces illness from an autethnographic perspective. It will reward a broad spectrum of lay, academic, and medical professional readers with its detailed account of the broad web of relationships impacted by one person’s illness. Anderson depicts each of these relationships with exemplary ethical care—including his relationship with the virus itself, personified in a captivating and moving way that reveals the flaws in our health care system and the dedicated people who struggle within and against that system as they fight for their lives and the lives of others.Craig Gingrich-Philbrook, Professor of Communication Studies, Southern Illinois UniversityI’ve been waiting for this book for a long time, anticipating Patrick Anderson’s always acute, insightful, nuanced, approach to understanding the performances and representations of our lives. Autobiography of a Disease exceeds all my expectations, as it experiments with form, multiplies narrative voices, and undoes the primacy of disciplinary approaches to knowledge and experience. Anderson deploys any and all strategies to evoke the uncanny journey to the precipice of mortality and back to another kind of life. A moving, stunning, necessary book.Jill Dolan, Dean of the College, Annan Professor of English, Professor of Theatre, Princeton UniversityThis is a captivating intervention into medical and illness narratives. It realizes the power of disease and care with equal parts precision and pleasure. A must-read for anyone interested in how we live in, with, and by our bodies. Della Pollock, Professor of Communication Studies, The University of North Carolina at Chapel HillPatrick Anderson’s Autobiography of a Disease offers a rare and much-needed view of illness that binds the political economy of American medicine to the personal and interpersonal work of healing. With precision and poignancy Anderson offers a harrowing narrative of disease as a communal event linking human and nonhuman agents, moments of peril, and moments of grace. It is an unflinching, creative, and utterly compelling account. Everyone who has been -- or will be -- a patient or a caregiver should read this book.Judith Hamera, Professor, Program in Dance, Princeton UniversityTable of ContentsForeword Prelude Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V Part VI Coda Afterword Acknowledgements

MO - University of Illinois Press Nursing Civil Rights
Book SynopsisIn Nursing Civil Rights, Charissa J. Threat investigates the parallel battles against occupational segregation by African American women and white men in the U.S. Army. As Threat reveals, both groups viewed their circumstances with the Army Nurse Corps as a civil rights matter. Each conducted separate integration campaigns to end the discrimination they suffered. Yet their stories defy the narrative that civil rights struggles inevitably arced toward social justice. Threat tells how progressive elements in the campaigns did indeed break down barriers in both military and civilian nursing. At the same time, she follows conservative threads to portray how some of the women who succeeded as agents of change became defenders of exclusionary practices when men sought military nursing careers. The ironic result was a struggle that simultaneously confronted and reaffirmed the social hierarchies that nurtured discrimination.Trade ReviewLavinia L. Dock Award for Exemplary Historical Research Writing, American Association for the History of Nursing, 2017. "Particularly strong in the themes of civil rights and gender equality and adds important information on subjects that have been traditionally underrepresented in academic literature. Threat has made a substantial contribution to this important subject and has started a stimulating discussion."--Susan Malka, author of Daring to Care: American Nursing and Second Wave Feminism"This book links nurses’ struggles to broader drives for racial and gender justice. Highly recommended."--Choice"Charissa J. Threat accomplishes her purpose of broadening our thinking about discrimination history beyond race and gender to economic rights and labor as part of an equal rights agenda. . . . Threat effectively threads her argument, that although race and gender were key Civil Rights forces, labor and economics were also critical in shaping the agenda. . . . She effectively uses nursing, as should other scholars, to understand broader social and political issues." --Journal of the History of Medicine"Charissa J. Threat offers an original way to view the struggles of professional black women and white men in nursing. . . . This book is more than a history of two groups struggling for acceptance in the cultures and politics of professional nursing and the military. Threat's discussion about the complexities surrounding the concept of equality allows the reader to consider larger societal issues about inclusion."--American Historical Review"By combining narratives of African American women and white men and analyzing the Army Nurse Corps' policies regarding both race and gender, Threat links together gender and racial equality to provide a new framework in which to understand the 1960s civil rights movement. . . . Threat's arguments make Nursing Civil Rights an important work in understanding the gender and racial structure of the Army Nurse Corps in the 1960s and 1970s."--Register of the Kentucky Historical Society"A welcome amendment to the history of nursing in the United States. . . . Threat's examination of nursing's organizational evolution yields new insights about the racial politics of alliance and division."--Women's Review of Books"This book offers new insight into American history, and adds an important perspective to existing works on nursing history by Sarnecky, Vuic, and Hine. This excellent book will appeal to scholars and teachers of medicine and nursing history, military history, and civil rights and gender."--Bulletin of the History of Medicine"A fascinating study of how nurses, black and white, men and women, fought for economic opportunities within the military."--Pacific Historical Review "Nursing Civil Rights illuminates thoroughly the issues of racial and gender inclusion in the US military." --The Journal of African American History "Nursing Civil Rights skillfully links African American and male nurses’ efforts to integrate the military nursing corps to a broader history of struggles for racial and sexual equality in the early- and mid-twentieth century. This book makes a clear case that social change, wars, and the military are intimately connected."--Kara Dixon Vuic, author of Officer, Nurse, Woman: The Army Nurse Corps in the Vietnam War "Nursing Civil Rights tells the untold story of how the United States’ Army Nurse Corps, a profoundly conservative institution, came to represent real racial and gendered diversity--still elusive in both our society and in other branches of the armed services. Yet, this well documented and reasoned book does more. It uses the Army Nurse Corps as an example of the complicated intersections of race, gender, Cold War politics, and the quest of some women and men for social justice and equality. Nursing Civil Rights will be invaluable not only for those who want to understand the radicalized and gendered structure of our health care institutions, but also the culture within which we all live and work."--Patricia D'Antonio, author of American Nursing: A History of Knowledge, Authority, and the Meaning of Work
