In ethnographic studies from around the world, the contributors recast assumptions about filth and nakedness, exploring how various forms of transgression associated with the body's surface are drawn up into relations of power and inequality. They demonstrate how body surfaces are powerfully mobilized in the making and unmaking of moral worlds. Condition: Notes and underscores (by a scientist) in thin pencil are numerous. Mostly small and erasable. 6** A unique, illustrated account of the development of the beach traces the history of its image in popular culture.
