Based on ethnographic fieldwork in New York City and Buenos Aires, \u003ci\u003eCare without Pathology\u003c\/i\u003e moves across the Americas to show how trans- health activists have taken on the project of depathologization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In New York, Christoph Hanssmann examines activist attempts to overturn bans on using public health dollars to fund trans- health care. In Argentina, he traces how trans- activists marshaled medical statistics and personal biographies to reveal state violence directed against trans- people and travestis. Hanssmann also demonstrates the importance of understanding transphobia in the broader context of gendered racism, ableism, and antipoverty, arguing for the rise of a thoroughly coalition-based mass mobilization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCare without Pathology\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the distributive arguments activists made to access state funding for health care, combating state arguments that funding trans- health care is too specialized, too expensive, and too controversial. Hanssmann situates trans- health as a crucible within which sweeping changes are taking place--with potentially far-reaching effects on the economic and racial barriers to accessing care. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christoph Hanssmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517913411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517913410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Christoph Hanssmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410603864319,"sku":"9781517913410","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e338cf23-320c-4caf-868d-637777a3361f.jpg?v=1697536944","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/care-without-pathology-christoph-hanssmann-9781517913410","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
