Bodily Fluids, Fluid Bodies and International Politics: Feminist Technoscience, Biopolitics and Security (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781529237955)

In recent years, security actors have become increasingly concerned with health issues. This book reveals how understandings of race, sexuality and gender are produced/reproduced through healthcare policy.

Analysing the plasma of paid Mexicana/o donors in the US, airport vomit in Ebola epidemics and the semen of soldiers with genitourinary injuries, this book shows how security practices focus upon governing bodily fluids.

Using a variety of critical scholarship - feminist technoscience, queer studies and critical race studies - this book uses fluids to reveal unequal distributions of life and death.
