Embodied Resistanceengages the rich and complex range of society's contemporary "body outlaws"--people from many social locations who violate norms about the private, the repellent, or the forbidden. #xA0;This collection ventures beyond the conventional focus on the "disciplined body" and instead, examines conformity from the perspective of resisters. #xA0; By balancing accessibly written original ethnographic research with personal narratives, Embodied Resistance provides a window into the everyday lives of those who defy or violate socially constructed body rules and conventions.
