Book: Immunitas: The Protection and Negation of Life

Just published in English: Roberto Esposito (Italian Institute of Human Sciences), "Immunitas: The Protection and Negation of Life", trans. Zakiya Hanafi (Polity, November 2011).

Endorsement: "Esposito offers the reader a stunning genealogy of the category of immunization ... across a series of disciplines, including law, political theology, philosophical anthropology, and biopolitics, all culminating in the the model of the transplant for imagining an immunization that might lead to 'the immune common.' ... An absolute must read for anyone interested in thinking the future of life and politics in a biopolitical age." (Timothy C. Campbell, Cornell University)
