| "What might suspicions of religious inbreeding; Herman the Bull; anxiety about continued influence of Nazi eugenics; and the quest to be normal all have in common? These themes are skilfully woven together in Karen-Sue Taussig's thoughtful and provocative "Ordinary Genomes" which makes a very important case for the specificity of Dutch genetic perceptions and practices. Her account convinces us to rethink the meaning of 'Western' in light of Taussig's excellent ethnographic account of Dutch praxis--in and out of genetic medicine--as we imagine the many ways it teaches us to think about normality. This is an important book. It provides a classic anthropological argument for the importance of thinking comparatively, as we approach 21st century genomic medicine."--Rayna Rapp, author of "Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: The Social Impact of Amniocentesis in America" |
