Nahavandi contends that the commodification of human\nbody parts reflects a modern form of such well-known historical phenomena as\nslavery and colonization, and can be considered a new and additional form of\nappropriation and extraction of resources from the Global South. What\nare the commonalities between hair\ntrade, surrogacy, kidney sale and attraction of brains? The author argues that these all\ncharacterize a world where increasingly everything can be traded or is considered\nto be tradeable. A world where, similar to any other goods, body parts have\nentered the global market either legally or illegally. Through a series of\nmultidisciplinary comparative studies, the book explores how forms\ncommodification of the human body are fuelled by issues of poverty in the\nGlobal South, and inequality in transnational relations.                                                    \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Pivot\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-05-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137505835\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-50584-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 134\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752409624716,"sku":"9781137505835","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137505835.jpg?v=1775916055","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137505835","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
