Skin

Skin is the body's largest organ, and one of its most fickle. It is the border between ourselves and the world, it shows the world different things about us: tattoos, tans, piercings, clothing, and many other ways that we show or hide our skin reveal aspects of who we are to the world. In this fascinating book from author Sergio del Molino, take a dive into the history and sociology of skin. What happens when our skin is sick, or not in accord with what the world expects of it? How does our skin situate us in power relationships? As a psoriasis sufferer, the author has unique insight into the difficulties of having skin that appears and functions differently. An intriguingly insightful deep dive into one of the most seemingly superficial parts of ourselves.
