Anyone have this book?

[A&A]

Flesh and Blood from the 7th International Symposium on genital mutilation (related to nocirc.) Just wondering if it's worth the $75.

I have seen the book, and read one article in it... which by the way- I disagreed with and had a chance to discuss with the author right there... it was his copy of the book. But I did not have a chance to even browse through the other chapters. It's a series of articles by people who have specific things to say about the issue. I think they all presented their papers at the Intnatl symposium. I guess it would all depend on what $75 dollars is to you if it is worth it. I would love to buy the book and think it's worth the money to me, but I can't spare that kind of money.

I might try the interlibrary loan.

Love Sarah

Just wondering what you disagreed with?

[Sarah]

It was only the type of argument which two dedicated intactivists could have with eachother... it was over the way a statistic was presented.

He said that children who were adopted from overseas were at a decreased risk of circumcision (in comparison to their American born American peers)

I said that they were at an increased rish of circumcision (in comparison to their peers of their homeland... the risk of circumcision skyrocketed as soon as American parents become involved with their "case")

The argument remained "up in the air" and that was that. It was an honor to be able to have such a high level debate with a person I had such respect for face to face.

Love Sarah

I was not able to get this one through library interloan,but got a different years book(each year they have that gential integrity symp.)
I liked the book I did read.If you can not get it through library interloan then put in a request to a few local libraries to order it and one just might do so.
