The politics of the body is often highly contested, culturally
specific, and controlled, and this book calls our attention to how
bodies are included or excluded in the polity. With governments
regulating bodies in ways that mark the political boundaries of who
is a citizen, worthy of protection and rights, as well as those who
transgress socially proscribed norms, the contributors to this
volume offer a systematic investigation of both theoretical and
empirical account of bodily differences broadly defined. These
chapters, diverse in both the populations and the political
behaviours examined, as well as the methodological approaches
employed, showcase the significance of body politics in a way few
edited works in political science currently do. Arguing that the
body is an important site to understand power relations, this book
will be of interest to those studying the unequal application of
rights to women, racial and ethnic minorities, the LGBTQ community,
and people with disabilities. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Politics, Groups, and Identities.
