Collective Biologies by Emily a Wentzell sku-923474550

Collective Biologies is a hardcover book by Emily a Wentzell in the Latin American History Books category. Wentzell studies couples' experiences in a longitudinal study of HPV occurrence in men in Cuernavaca, Mexico. She examines how partners understood biology through Mexican ideas of family, race and group belonging.

Some hoped that men's participation in HPV research, marriage and performance of “modern” masculinities would benefit groups from church congregations to the Mexican populace. Wentzell calls these connections “collective biologies” and argues that medical research participation can be part of everyday efforts to address societal health problems, a role obscured by regulatory and neoliberal emphasis on the individual.
