Description
Olivia Laing's Everybody is a vital examination of the long struggle for bodily freedom, drawing on her own experiences and those of others to explore the complex forces that have shaped our understanding of the human body.
From the streets of Weimar Berlin to the prisons of McCarthy-era America, Laing grapples with the most significant figures of the past century, including Nina Simone, Sigmund Freud, Susan Sontag, and Malcolm X, to shed light on the ongoing struggle for freedom and the human body's capacity to resist oppression.
At a time when basic rights are once again in danger, Everybody is a crucial examination of the forces arrayed against freedom, and a celebration of the power of ordinary human bodies to reshape the world.
