This is a fully revised edition of a book that may fairly claim to have re-opened the sociology of the body as a legitimate area of inquity. Providing an unparalleled guide to all aspects of the subject, each chapter has been revised and updated while the book contains new material that reflects both recent changes in the filed and Turner’s developing position on the centrality of vulnerability.
Assured and innovative, this book provides the most autoritative statement of work on the sociology of the body by one of the leading writers in the field.
