Life Beside Itself: Imagining Care in the Canadian Arctic
In Life Beside Itself, Lisa Stevenson presents a haunting ethnographic examination of two critical historical moments when Inuit life in the Canadian Arctic balanced on the edge of survival: the tuberculosis epidemic spanning the 1940s to early 1960s, and the ongoing suicide epidemic from the 1980s to present day.
