Book Synopsis
Examining a wide range of cross-cultural cases, Jason Manning argues that suicide arises from increased inequality and decreasing intimacy, and that conflicts are more likely to become suicidal when they occur in a context of social inferiority.

Trade Review
Sophisticated, original, and highly readable, Manning’s important new study offers an alternative to the incomplete psychiatric approach to understanding suicide."

"This book is a breath of fresh air and should motivate the discipline to be innovative when it comes to the study self-harm, both as a framework guiding future research and as inspiration for creative forward thinking social science.
