Reviews

Aciksoez 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 * 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 *
