Barbara Sutton received funding from the Center for the Study of Women in Society to pursue the research on which this book is based. Winner of the 2004 CSWS Jane Grant Dissertation Fellowship<\/a>, Sutton earned her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Oregon (2004). She also has a law degree from the National University of Buenos Aires (1993), Argentina. Sutton is an assistant professor of women\u2019s studies at the University of Albany, SUNY, affiliated with the departments of sociology and Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies.<\/p>\n

From the publisher: \u201cBorn and raised in Argentina and still maintaining significant ties to the area, Barbara Sutton examines the complex, and often hidden, bodily worlds of diverse women in that country during a period of profound social upheaval. Based primarily on women\u2019s experiential narratives and set against the backdrop of a severe economic crisis and intensified social movement activism post-2001, Bodies in Crisis illuminates how multiple forms of injustice converge in and are contested through women\u2019s bodies. Sutton reveals the bodily scars of neoliberal globalization; women\u2019s negotiation of cultural norms of femininity and beauty; experiences with clandestine, illegal, and unsafe abortions; exposure to and resistance against interpersonal and structural violence; and the role of bodies as tools and vehicles of political action.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the lens of women\u2019s body consciousness in a Global South country, and drawing on multifaceted stories and a politically embedded approach, Bodies in Crisis suggests that social policy, economic systems, cultural ideologies, and political resistance are ultimately fleshly matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
