Devra Davis "Secret History of the War on Cancer" has become a major cultural force, as expected. Devra is on Book-TV this weekend. To learn more: http://www.booktv.org/program.aspx?ProgramId=8764&SectionName=&PlayMedia=No
Yesterday her book was reviewed by world renowned ecologist Sandra Steingraber for the Times Literary Supplement: "The Secret History of the War on Cancer is a remarkable piece of sleuthing from one of our most brave and knowledgeable scientists, on a topic that affects millions." Contested illnesses and the environmental health movement Times Online - UK And in her home town of Pittsburgh, the local journalism establishment is on fire: http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/15187012/detail.html Over a hundred of my students in "Medical Anthropology," and "Anthropology, Health and Environment" have ripped through the book, mesmerized and outraged. I'll be bringing Dr. Davis to the University of Michigan this summer or next fall. She is an incredible speaker. We need to reinforce this wave of counterhegemony in our local universities and towns.
