Reviews

"Well written and yet accessible, both descriptive and analytical ... a contribution to disability studies, to Soviet and post-socialist ethnography, to the anthropology of disability, and to the study of NGOs and social movements." Devva Kasnitz, University of California, Berkeley "A masterfully written ethnography... [Phillips] breaks new ground in offering us a glimpse as to how fundamental concepts of identity, gender, and belonging can inscribe themselves on the body and yet be shattered in a moment with devastating consequences." Catherine Wanner, Pennsylvania State University
