Diedrich offers crucial new methodological resources and a rich and compelling counterarchive of theory, activism, and cultural practice that has the potential to unsettle and reorient our approach to understanding health and illness as both historical and urgently ongoing sites of political struggle. -Disability Studies Quarterly Complex yet disarmingly candid, Indirect Action queers the process of history itself, offering a politics of indirectness that is still action, of remembering that doesn't overshadow. Lisa Diedrich is skilled at presenting a turn of thought or analytic term with extraordinary precision and historical weight. -Catherine Belling, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Moving through several sites that link illness, thought, and political action, Indirect Action is an engaged, vital, and generative critical practice. Lisa Diedrich demonstrates that when we take a longer view of complex phenomena, we discover the occluded origins and overlooked factors leading to their emergence. -Susan M. Squier, Pennsylvania State University Beautifully crafted, Indirect Action helps us to see how present activism, specifically health activism, might be done differently. Lisa Diedrich's gift is her ability to capture the transversal view without losing sight of this important argument: There is enormous power in indirect action. -Lisa Cartwright, University of California, San Diego
