Sunshine plays an important role in all aspects of life but there
has been little social analysis of the sun and its place in our
world. Recently experts have warned us that the sun's rays are
dangerous. Yet, a suntan can still be taken as a sign of health.
How did we arrive at this ambivalent relationship to the sun and
what does this say about our changing attitudes to the human body
and environment? Rise and Shine takes as its starting point a view
of sunlight as part of our material and social culture. How did the
use of sunlight to treat tuberculosis and rickets in the early
twentieth century alter our relationship with the sun? When was
suntan lotion invented? By drawing on a range of archival and
historical sources, Rise and Shine traces the network of social and
medical forces that constitute our current, sometimes problematic,
relationship with sun and sunlight.
