How to Live Through a Pandemic, Hardback Book

How to Live Through a Pandemic Hardback

Edited by Simone Abram, Helen Lambert, Jude Robinson

Part of the ASA Monographs series

Hardback

Description

This book explores what anthropology can contribute to an understanding of how people live through pandemics.

It reflects on how pandemics are experienced and what we can learn from Covid-19 as well as previous instances that might inform future responses and help to alleviate suffering.

The chapters highlight current research and longer-term reflections from different countries and areas of the discipline, covering medical anthropology, care and surveillance, digital and experimental ethnography, and the everyday economies of lockdown.

They show the breadth and originality of anthropological work relevant to thinking about and responding to pandemic situations.

Extending beyond Covid-19, the volume considers the implications for ongoing and future research under pandemic restrictions and gives a broad overview of current anthropology relevant to questions about pandemics.

It will be of interest to both academic and applied anthropologists, as well as to sociologists and those working in global and public health.
