Description
Traveling with Sugar reframes the rising diabetes epidemic as part of a five-hundred-year-old global history of sweetness and power. Amid eerie injuries, changing bodies, amputated limbs, and untimely deaths, many people across the Caribbean and Central America simply call the affliction â?osugarâ??â?"or, as some say in Belize, â?otraveling with sugar.â?? A decade in the making, this book unfolds as a series of crA3nicasâ?"a word meaning both slow-moving story and slow-moving disease. It profiles the careful work of those â?ostill fighting itâ?? as they grapple with unequal material infrastructures and unsettling dilemmas. Facing a new incarnation of blood sugar, these individuals speak back to science and policy misrecognitions that have prematurely cast their lost limbs and deaths as normal. Their familiesâ?T arts of maintenance and repair illuminate ongoing struggles to survive and remake larger systems of food, land, technology, and medicine.
