Blood pulses through religion, literature, and the visual arts. Every time it pools or spills, we learn a little more about what brings human beings together and what pulls us apart. For centuries, perceptions of difference in our blood have separated people on the basis of gender, race, class, and nation. Ideas about blood purity have spawned rules about who gets to belong to a family or cultural group, who enjoys the rights of citizenship and nationality, what privileges one can expect to be granted or denied, whether you inherit poverty or the right to rule over the masses, what constitutes fair play in sport, and what defines a person’s identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlood: The Stuff of Life\u003c\/em\u003e is a bold meditation on blood as an historical and contemporary marker of identity, belonging, gender, race, class, citizenship, athletic superiority, and nationhood.\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781770893221","excerpt_0":"https:\/\/biblioshare.org\/BNCservices\/BNCServices.asmx\/Samples?token=fcf85c1c1b298e99\u0026amp;ean=9781770893221\u0026amp;SAN=\u0026amp;Perspective=excerpt\u0026amp;FileNumber=0","Height":"8","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"House of Anansi Press","MetaKeywords":"Life Sciences; Human Anatomy \u0026amp; Physiology; Hematology; Massey Lectures","NumberOfPages":"384","OtherText_Review_0":"Where Blood shines (glistens?) is in the many places where Hill exposes and explores the contradictions and liminal spaces of a topic that — whether we like it or not — unites us all.","OtherText_Review_0_Auth":"Emily Donaldson","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"Toronto Star","OtherText_Review_1":"The book is chock full of fascinating statistics, anecdotes and arguments about blood and ranges in topics...It's entertaining, shocking and informative; the lectures should be both challenging and engaging.","OtherText_Review_1_Auth":"Tracy Sherlock","OtherText_Review_1_Src":"Vancouver Sun","OtherText_Review_2":"...elegantly argued lectures.","OtherText_Review_2_Auth":"Brian Bethune","OtherText_Review_2_Src":"Maclean's","OtherText_Review_3":"...Hill is a wonderful storyteller, and it’s the stories – his own in particular – that absorb and resonate.","OtherText_Review_3_Auth":"Carolyn Abraham","OtherText_Review_3_Src":"Globe and Mail","OtherText_Review_4":"Transparent and compelling.\r\n\r\nThe book is as enthralling as it is informative.\r\n\r\nThe reasons for Hill's success as a writer are apparent throughout.","OtherText_Review_4_Src":"Publisher's Weekly","OtherText_Review_5":"A natural choice for Massey lecturer","OtherText_Review_5_Auth":"Ian McGillis","OtherText_Review_5_Src":"The Montreal Gazette","OtherText_Review_6":"...a comprehensive and powerful social history of blood and its myriad implications for the ways we view ourselves.","OtherText_Review_6_Auth":"Devyani Saltzman","OtherText_Review_6_Src":"The Province","OtherText_Review_7":"The book is enlivened by Hill's personal and familial experiences with blood... he affirms the humanist and scientifically accurate description that we are all part of the unfolding diversity of the human family.
