"Bodies in Crisis is one of the few books that deals with the bodily dimensions of exclusion and resistance in Latin America. Bravo to Sutton for this highly original work."
- Javier Auyero (author of Flammable: Environmental Suffering in an Argentine Shantytown) "A masterful study on embodiment and modes of feminity in 21st century Argentina. It is accessible enough to be used with upper-level undergraduates even as it is detailed and complex enough to be essential for specialists in Argentina, a difficult balance which Sutton nonetheless achieves flawlessly."
(Anthropological Quarterly) "Barbara Sutton provides a unique account of the social and political conjuncture in her country at the beginning of the twenty-first century that is both a brilliant attempt to theorize women's lives and struggles by bringing thhe body clearly 'back' into the picture, and a rendering of a concrete story of oppression and resistance in which women come to life as embodied subjects of history. Her well-written text brings her informants' stories richly to life."
(Contemporary Sociology) "I rarely say this about academic books but I had a hard time putting this one down! Sutton has authored an exciting and engaging contribution to the literature on women and social movements."
- Michelle D. Bonner (University of Victoria)
