""Bodies of Difference is a breath of fresh air in this tremendously important arena of medical anthropology. Kohrman writes very clearly and with grace, and the scholarship is evident on every page."" - Linda S. Mitteness, University of California, San Francisco ""Korhman reveals to us with a keen ethnographic eye and a clear prose style the emergent world of disabilities in China. His analysis of this biobureaucracy and of the stakes of bodies and lives is illuminating."" - Paul Rabinow, author of Anthropos Today""
