Creating Beauty to Cure the Soul: Race and Psychology in the Shaping of Aesthetic Surgery Hardcover - 1998
by Sander L. Gilman
From the rear cover
""Creating Beauty to Cure the Soul" reveals the multi-dimensional cultural, political, and 'racial' aspects of the development of modern aesthetic surgery. With his usual acuity, aplomb, and elan, Sander Gilman shows that the distinction between 'reconstructive' and 'aesthetic' plastic surgery is a thoroughly cultural, thoroughly constructed, and thus thoroughly political/racialized difference."--Daniel Boyarin, author of "Unheroic Conduct: The Rise of Heterosexuality and theInvention of the Jewish Man"
