Everyone's body. A book about freedom

The body is a source of pleasure and pain, at the same time hopelessly vulnerable and full of power. At a time when basic rights are once again under threat, Olivia Lang delivers a brilliant exploration of the body and its discontents, using the life of renegade psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich to explore the long struggle for bodily freedom.

Lang combines cultural scholarship with personal experiences to explore issues of sexuality, race, illness, and spirituality. She explores how much we can identify with our bodies and why we sometimes want to run away from them. The author looks for answers to this in the biographies of great artists and scientists who dreamed of a revolution in the perception of physicality: Susan Sontag, Nina Simone, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.

Everybody's Body is an exploration of the forces against freedom and a celebration of how ordinary human bodies can resist oppression and change the world.
