In Enduring Cancer Dwaipayan Banerjee explores the efforts of
Delhi's urban poor to create a livable life with cancer as patients
and families negotiate an overextended health system unequipped to
respond to the disease. Owing to long wait times, most urban poor
cancer patients do not receive a diagnosis until it is too late to
treat the disease effectively. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in
the city's largest cancer care NGO and at India's premier public
health hospital, Banerjee describes how, for these patients, a
cancer diagnosis is often the latest and most serious in a long
series of infrastructural failures. In the wake of these failures,
Banerjee tracks how the disease then distributes itself across
networks of social relations, testing these networks for strength
and vulnerability. Banerjee demonstrates how living with and
alongside cancer is to be newly awakened to the fragility of social
ties, some already made brittle by past histories, and others that
are retested for their capacity to support.
