Bipolar Expeditions : Mania And Depression In American Culture

Attribution
Emily Martin
Publication Details
Book, Princeton University Press, 2007
Links
Description
Charting how these worlds intersect with the wider popular culture, she reveals how people living under the description of bipolar disorder are often denied the status of being fully human, even while contemporary America exhibits a powerful affinity for manic behavior. Bipolar Expeditions argues that mania and depression have a cultural life outside the confines of diagnosis, that the experiences of people living with bipolar disorder belong fully to the human condition, and that even the most so-called rational everyday practices are intertwined with irrational ones.

Description
Female “circumcision” or, more precisely, female genital cutting (FGC), remains an important cultural practice in many African countries, often serving as a coming-of-age ritual. The contributors analyze changes in ideologies of gender and sexuality in immigrant communities, the frequent marginalization of African women’s voices in debates over FGC, and controversies over legislation restricting the practice in immigrant populations.
