{"product_id":"9781509857128","title":"Everybody : A Book About Freedom by Olivia Laing","description":"Everybody: A Vital Examination of the Long Struggle for Bodily FreedomFrom the award-winning author of Crudo, Everybody is an exhilarating and eminently readable study of the long struggle for bodily freedom - from gay rights and sexual liberation to feminism and the civil rights movement.   Drawing on their own experiences in protest and travelling from Weimar Berlin to the prisons of McCarthy-era America, Olivia Laing grapples with some of the most significant and complicated figures of the past century, among them Nina Simone, Sigmund Freud, Susan Sontag and Malcolm X.   At a time when basic rights are once again in danger, Everybody is a crucial examination of the forces arranged against freedom - and a celebration of how ordinary human bodies can resist oppression and reshape the world.
