Detailing how and why harmful chemicals are not better controlled, Tom Widger's book also provides a surprising account of how central the idea of poison is to sovereign state power.--Becky Mansfield, Professor of Geography, The Ohio State University Widger provides an excellent contribution to anthropological scholarship on toxicity, via pesticides. He advances 'poisoncraft, ' a compelling theoretical framework to examine relations between nation-state, regulation, and governance in comparative perspective.--Ciara Kierans, author of Chronic Failures: Kidneys, Regimes of Care, and the Mexican State Welcome to the Age of Toxicity, a time when statecraft has become poisoncraft. The Sovereign Poison offers a comprehensive, gripping account of how industries, governments, and everyday citizens construct and contest a chemically saturated world.--Alex M. Nading, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Cornell University
