In \u003ci\u003eBody Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes,\u003c\/i\u003e award-winning journalist and Fulbright scholar Anne Elizabeth Moore explores the global toll of capitalism on women with thorough research and surprising humor. The essays range from probing journalistic investigations, such as Moore’s reporting on the labor conditions of the Cambodian garment industry, to the uncomfortably personal, as when Moore, who suffers from several autoimmune disorders, examines her experiences seeking care and community in the increasingly complicated (and problematic) American healthcare system. Featuring illustrations by Xander Marro, \u003ci\u003eBody Horror\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating and revealing portrait of the gore of contemporary American culture and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAnne Elizabeth Moore \u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eUnmarketable \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCambodian Grrrl\u003c\/i\u003e , co-editor and publisher of the now-defunct \u003ci\u003ePunk Planet,\u003c\/i\u003e a founding editor of \u003ci\u003eBest American Comics,\u003c\/i\u003e a Fulbright scholar, former UN Press Fellow, and USC Annenberg\/Getty Arts Journalism Fellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curbside Splendor Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039759876336,"sku":"9781940430881","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940430881_p0.jpg?v=1763667265","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940430881","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
