"Patrick Anderson has written a wonderful book, one that will have a real impact on the field of performance studies. The topic that he has chosen is important and timely: the forced feeding of prisoners on a hunger strike at Guantanamo, the anorexia epidemic among young women (and now men), and the removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube are only some of the most recent and urgent questions that have surfaced around the practice and politics of starvation and who, ultimately, has the power over the individual body."--Diana Taylor, author of "The Archive and the Repertoire: Performing Cultural Memory in the Americas"…mehr
