Life Exposed: Biological Citizens after Chernobyl

This book was not written with a broad public in mind, and it's a shame, because if the ideas were a *little* bit more accessible, it might have been a real sensation. As it stands now, this is an academic discussion for students of organizational medicine who likely will work in research or in government; it explores how various affected populations have interacted with the Chernobyl disaster, and how various government agencies from different (soviet and post-soviet) ideological backgrounds have attempted to address the literal fallout. Deeply engaging, but not a quick or lesiurely read.

Great ethnographical work exploring the relationship between citizenship and subjectivity, a very present and important debate for our time.

My book is clean with no writing and no rips. It is exactly what the description said it would be.

This is an excellent, detailed book defining the emergence of the concept of the biological citizen and the way in which this has reshaped the state and victims of Chernobyl. Highly recommended if you are interested in the way in which the concept of the body changes with situations.

This was a great read with interesting details.
