Asserting that the body is the main site of oppression in Western society, the contributors to this pioneering volume explore the complex issue of embodiment and how it relates to social inclusion and marginalization.

This anthology explores how power, privilege, oppression, and attempted disembodiment play out on the bodies of disparaged individuals.
