How do we know we are ill? Are health, illness and disability
universal categories? How important is the body in our
understanding of health? These crucial questions are just some of
the issues tackled in this comprehensive and insightful new book.
Embodying Health Identities offers a fundamental account of the
sociology of health, exploring the relationship between health and
identity through a focus on embodiment. Bringing together existing
literature with new cutting edge theories, the authors investigate
the implications of the body on our experiences of health and
illness and its role in how health, illness and identity relate to
each other. The text begins by outlining the key concepts of health
and illness, and then continues with an exploration of the social
factors which impact on health and a consideration of the journey
of illness, from causation to treatment, across the life course.
Throughout the text, theoretical arguments are effectively
illustrated with contemporary examples taken from every day life
and a diverse range of cultures. Written by two reputed authors in
the field, this accessible text offers stimulating and refreshing
reading for all students of the sociology and anthropology of
health.
