Neoliberalism on the ground : political, economic, and social landscapes -- Physicality's sociality and sociality's physicality : fluid boundaries of the body -- The intergenerational embodiment of social suffering -- Anxious ambitions and the financing of tranquility -- Moving sentiments : emotions and migration -- Conclusion.

Summary: 'Embodied Protests' examines how Bolivia's hesitant courtship with globalization manifested in the visceral and emotional diseases that afflicted many Bolivian women. Drawing on case studies conducted among market- and working-class women in the provincial town of Punata, Maria Tapias examines how headaches and debilidad, so-called normal bouts of infant diarrhea, and the malaise oppressing whole communities were symptomatic of profound social suffering.
