This edited collection, The Chronopolitics of Life, represents an important, timely and novel contribution in the fields of anthropology and social sciences of medicine. This book offers an original perspective on how temporalities shape the embodiment of inequalities of health related to both the beginning and the end of life. Here we are particularly interested in the interplay between intersecting inequalities and temporalities. This book provides empirical examples of how technoscientific and biomedical endeavors reconfigure the temporalities of life, but also of how time becomes a resource that is unequally distributed and that differentially frames the experiences of ill-health, biomedical practices, and the governing of bodies, biographies, and the life course.
