B.O.D.Y. H.O.R.R.O.R.: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes by Moore, Anne Elizabeth. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781940430881.

"One of the best Political Economy books of all time" (BookAuthority) "Books Were Excited About in 2017" (Chicago Tribune) "Books We Cant Wait to Read in 2017" (Chicago Reader) Every day, heinous acts are perpetrated on womens bodies in this political economy--whether for entertainment, in the guise of medicine, or due to the conditions of labor that propel consumerism. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, 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 Moores 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, Body Horror is a fascinating and revealing portrait of the gore of contemporary American culture and politics. Anne Elizabeth Moore is the author of Unmarketable and Cambodian Grrrl, co-editor and publisher of the now-defunct Punk Planet, a founding editor of Best American Comics, a Fulbright scholar, former UN Press Fellow, and USC Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism Fellow.
