Minority populations are often regarded as being 'hard to reach'
and evading state expectations of health protection. This
ethnographic and archival study analyses how devout Jews in Britain
negotiate healthcare services to preserve the reproduction of
culture and continuity. This book demonstrates how the
transformative and transgressive possibilities of technology reveal
multiple pursuits of protection between this religious minority and
the state. Making Bodies Kosher advances theoretical perspectives
of immunity, and sits at the intersection of medical anthropology,
social history and the study of religions.
