Autorenporträt

Beatrice Adler-Bolton is an artist and writer, currently completing an MA in CUNY’s Disability Studies program. She is disabled and chronically ill, a subject position which made clear to her how untenable the American left’s approach to health care legislation was. Artie Vierkant is an artist and writer. Alongside social scientist Philip Rocco, they started the "Death Panel" podcast in 2018, a popular twice-weekly podcast on "struggles over healthcare, economic inequality, social justice, and the people, policies, and media narratives that stand in the way." Death Panel has a listener-initiated reading group on disability justice and has become a "cult hit" in the art world.

Rezensionen

This book changed the way I think about health, power, state capacity, extraction, social welfare, and resistance. It is an immensely useful tool for wrestling with the most urgent questions facing our movements in these terrifying times. Readable and filled with concise histories and clear examples to illustrate nuanced analysis, it will no doubt become required reading among those struggling against the death cult that is racial capitalism.
