All In: Cancer, Near Death, New Life (Emergent Strategy, 11)

All In: Cancer, Near Death, New Life (Emergent Strategy, 11)

Caitlin Breedlove

Eloquent and passionate, Caitlin Breedlove's cancer-focused memoir is rooted in her activism.  It's often said that cancer does not discriminate. But some groups are more likely to suffer from cancer, and some are more likely to die from the disease. And we know classism and racism increase exposure to some carcinogens, including pesticides, corroded public water systems, and workplace toxins.
Diagnosed with a deadly form of ovarian cancer in her 30s, Caitlin Breedlove draws on lessons offered by her political work, early motherhood, and her values in All Cancer, Near Death, New Life. 
With the lens—and heart—of an organizer, she chronicles harms caused by our profit-driven health care system; explores the rigors of single parenting while living with acute, chronic illness; and reveals her challenges with addiction. And like Audre Lorde and Barbara Ehrenreich  Breedlove calls out the insidious impact of "toxic positivity" on women who live with cancer. 
As she shares her individual journey, Breedlove connects it to broader struggles for health and social justice. The result is a intensely powerful narrative, centering experiences elided in other narratives.
