Synopsis
How do our beliefs about living with chronic illness shape the way we approach treatment and care?
Savoring Care challenges conventional narratives about living with type 2 diabetes. A chronic condition defined by insulin resistance and radical transitions in lifestyle, type 2 diabetes care is infused with individual blame and attempts to foster biomedical control. This book moves the focus away from blame and stigma towards the ways people with this chronic illness foster care, resilience, and well-being in their daily lives. Rather than centring diabetes management solely on diet and personal responsibility, this book explores how individuals and communities support one another through shared meals, therapies, and other forms of practical care.
Drawing on rich ethnographic research, editors and anthropologists Jessica Hardin and Emily Mendenhall illuminate how people respond creatively to a diabetes diagnosis, developing nourishing practices that prioritize relationships, friendship, and mutual care from around the world. Blending compassionate storytelling with accessible analysis, Savoring Care critiques dominant models of health, which frame diabetes as a failure of willpower or lifestyle, and instead highlights the alternative logics available as well as the diverse, meaningful ways people adapt to live well, understand their bodies, and thrive.
