Sacrificial Limbs Masculinity, Disability, and Political Violence in Turkey

Reviews

"An engaging, sophisticated contribution to the literature on conflict studies, political violence, medical anthropology, gender studies, and disability studies, Sacrificial Limbs: Masculinity, Disability, and Political Violence in Turkey is likely to put Turkey on the map of world anthropology as never before."—Conflict and Society

"Açiksöz effectively reminds us of how otherwise unmarked bodies in theories of sovereignty and biopolitics (and necropolitics) are already always gendered, classed, and ethno-racialized in specific ways."—Anthropology Book Forum

"The book is equally a work of political anthropology and medical anthropology and would easily be at home in upper- level undergraduate or graduate courses about either subject. With its careful attention to the sociocultural and political, and the embodiment of disabled masculinity, the book is also an exemplary contribution to the burgeoning field of disability anthropology, and one that clearly demonstrates how work on disability can push medical anthropology to attend to the political in new ways."—Medical Anthropology Quarterly
