Exposure Acknowledgments Bibliography IndexReviewsMasking is, as Sharrona Pearl wisely observes, a complicated enterprise: masks can protect and buffer even as they diminish, eviscerate, and lie. With a historian's rigor and a human's candor, Pearl addresses all of this and more. From public health to performance and ritual, Mask interrogates the personal, public, and inevitably paradoxical ways we both conceal and reveal our increasingly imperiled selves. * Jessica Helfand, author of Face: A Visual Odyssey (2019) * Author InformationSharrona Pearl is Associate Professor of Bioethics and History in the Health Care Administration Department at Drexel University, USA.
