Sample Book Insights:
#1 Rehumanizing means seeing not only the human behind a CT scan, but the more-than-human behind the picture of any individual. Our bodies have evolved in systems of deep relationships with the sun, soil, water, and tides.
#2 Decolonizing medicine begins with the project of rehumanization and reconnection, linking scans to people’s faces; patients to their families, their cosmologies, communities, and histories; and peoples to their lands and mountains and waters.
#3 Colonialism has changed the way we view and understand the world around us. It has altered the relationships that Indigenous people had with the world before European invasion, and it has severed a relationship to the past.
#4 We want to take the familiar, disconnected understanding of health and make it strange by extending the borders and limits of those systems. We outline a cartography of illness drawn by lines of power.
