Bodies of Resistance

Laura Doyle's first book, "Bordering on the Body: The Racial Matrix of Modern Fiction and Culture" received the George and Barbara Perkins Prize from the Narrative Society.

An exploration of the traumas and possibilities of embodiment as it is lived in a political world. Unveiling the influence of phenomenology, particularly in that of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, on contemporary thought, it cuts across different disciplines in its analysis.
