Gut anthro : an experiment in thinking with microbes / Amber Benezra.

Summary:

"Gut Anthro tells the fascinating story of how a sociocultural anthropologist developed a collaborative "anthropology of microbes" with a human microbial ecologist to address global health crises across disciplines. Revealing how racial categories are used in microbiome research, Benezra argues that microbial differences need transdisciplinary collaboration to address racial health disparities without reifying race as a straightforward biological or social designation"-- Provided by publisher.
