Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intersection of pain and political ideology, this book delves into how American political culture has been shaped by differing perceptions of pain since World War II. It highlights the contentious debates surrounding various types of pain—disabling, end-of-life, and fetal—and how these discussions have led to significant ideological divides among liberals and conservatives. The examination extends to the implications of these divisions in healthcare, politics, and legal contexts, revealing the complex relationship between personal suffering and political identity.
