Exploring self-destruction and radical self-endangerment, the book challenges conventional views by presenting these acts as forms of resistance rather than mere pathologies. Through historical examples, including the suicides of enslaved Africans and hunger strikes of suffragists, it highlights the complex expressions of oppression. The author develops a materialist theory of corporeal agency, emphasizing the rebellious nature of the body and its capacity for contention, ultimately offering a profound examination of suffering and resistance in a global context.
