Beschreibung:
Anna Lora-Wainwright is associate professor in the Human Geography of China at the University of Oxford. She is the author of Resigned Activism: Living with Pollution in Rural China (forthcoming).
Numerous reports of 'cancer villages' have appeared in the past decade in both Chinese and Western media, highlighting the downside of China's economic development. Less generally known is how people experience and understand cancer in areas where there is no agreement on its cause. Who or what do they blame? How do they cope with its onset? Fighting for Breath is the first ethnography to offer a bottom-up account of how rural families strive to make sense of cancer and care for sufferers.
