PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Susanna Trnka is Associate Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Auckland. She is the author of State of Suffering: Political Violence and Community Survival in Fiji (2008) and the co-editor of Competing Responsibilities: The Politics and Social Ethics of Responsibility in Contemporary Life (2017).
Surprising, subtle, and sophisticated, One Blue Child exemplifies ethnographic and comparative inquiry at its best. Susanna Trnka's focus on situated and strategic social action - ranging from children and parents to clinicians and activists and across sites as diverse as spas, clinics, and private homes - provides a convincing case for policy as ongoing, often contested practice. -- Don Brenneis, University of California * Santa Cruz * One Blue Child is a fascinating ethnographic study of how physicians, patients, and families negotiate multiple meanings of and experiences with asthma. Trnka demonstrates that asthma is not a disease, but a process that is enacted across intersecting constituencies, bodies, medicines, and decisions. The book illuminates how individualized responsibility is socially and collectively contested and refashioned through science and policy, and in health care and family settings. -- Erin Koch * University of Kentucky *
