- Provides a convincing exploration of a central theme of our
times: human suffering. The author writes well; his remarks on the
brute fact of suffering are very powerfully made.
- There are no real rivals to this book, since until its
publication there had been no really systematic sociological
theorisation of pain and suffering.
- This is despite the fact that students are currently clamouring
to take courses on the damaging consequences of global capitalism,
war, religious conflict and the like. For this reason, although the
subject area might at first seem perhaps marginal, the book fills a
yawning gap in the market.
- It will have strong appeal to upper-level undergraduate students in a range of disciplines, as well as politically engaged general readers.
