Everybody: A Vital Examination of the Long Struggle for Bodily Freedom
From the award-winning author of Crudo, Everybody is an exhilarating and eminently readable study of the long struggle for bodily freedom – from gay rights and sexual liberation to feminism and the civil rights movement.
Drawing on their own experiences in protest and travelling from Weimar Berlin to the prisons of McCarthy-era America, Olivia Laing grapples with some of the most significant and complicated figures of the past century, among them Nina Simone, Sigmund Freud, Susan Sontag, and Malcolm X.
At a time when basic rights are once again in danger, Everybody is a crucial examination of the forces arranged against freedom – and a celebration of how ordinary human bodies can resist oppression and reshape the world.
