![]() | Injury: The Politics of Product Design and Safety Law in the United States Subjects: Personal injuries -- United States; Product safety -- Social aspects -- United States; Wounds and injuries -- Social aspects -- United States; Injury offers the first sustained anthropological analysis and critique of American injury law. The book approaches injury law as a symptom of a larger American injury culture, rather than as a tool of social justice or as a form of regulation. In doing so, it offers a new understanding of the problematic role that law plays in constructing Americans' relations with the objects they consume. Lochlann Jain is professor of cultural anthropology at Stanford University and the author of Malignant: How Cancer Becomes Us. |
