Reviews

'This extraordinary work offers urgent analysis of the pandemic's politics of life and death, anchored in the longer histories and wider politics of bodies and borders, economy and infrastructure, and contagion. The abundant insight Mitropoulos offers readers is a precious gift.' -- Deborah Cowen, author of The Deadly Life of Logistics 'An invaluable guide through the excessive noise of overlapping crises. Read this if, like so many of us, you need to pause and take in a broader sweep of thought, of history and of ways of understanding as we all try to survive yet another deadly plague.' -- Gargi Bhattacharayya, author of Rethinking Racial Capitalism 'This book is a scalpel: a tool or a weapon if you hold it right' -- The New Inquiry ‘Pandemonium unpacks the deadly structures of power behind the pandemic that changed the world’ -- ROAR
