Description
Book SynopsisA radical new approach to health and caregiving in the age of COVID-19.
Trade Review‘A powerful and beautiful tool for people and societies in movement. It helps us see how moments of crisis give rise to new forms of solidarity. It exemplifies what we as scholars, artists, and people in movements can do. Join this journey: you will be transformed'
-- Marina Sitrin, editor of Pandemic Solidarity
‘An imaginative intervention that proposes a collective model for health care as a process of political transformation. With the Covid-19 pandemic we have seen that the systems of care that prevail in capitalism do not work. 'The Hologram' offers an inspiring solution'
-- Melanie Gilligan, artist and writer
'What comes after Covid? How do we address the naked, class-based and racial inequalities exposed by the plague? Cassie Thornton proposes a healing hypothesis in 'The Hologram'. It could not come at a more necessary moment’
* Gregory Sholette, author of Dark Matter and Delirium and Resistance *
