" Collective Biologies is an engaging, theoretically astute, and crisply written ethnography of research participation and shifting notions of gender and modernity in Mexico. Emily A. Wentzell captures a sense of the way biomedical research increasingly becomes enfolded into the experiences and projects of everyday life and particular understandings and aspirations of modernity in a way that is both emergent and urgent to understand. Her thoughtful, accessible, and illuminating examination makes crucial contributions to scholarship in science studies, medical anthropology, and Latin American studies." -- Megan Crowley-Matoka, author of Domesticating Organ Transplant: Familial Sacrifice and National Aspiration in Mexico "Emily A. Wentzell's study challenges medicine's conception of 'the body' as a discrete entity and the way medical testing is done and the results understood. It is an excellent contribution to both medical anthropology and to public health." -- Laura A. Lewis, author of Chocolate and Corn Flour: History, Race, and Place in the Making of "Black" Mexico "This solid contribution to medical anthropology reifies the concept that individuals enfold themselves into larger, collective, societal arenas. Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals." -- G. R. Campbell Choice "Wentzell's skill in describing these biological abstractions is impressive. She has the capacity to weave complex subjects together: class differences, Mexican gender norms, national stereotypes, history, the economy, racial stereotypes, sexual disease transmission, familial and educational concerns, perceptions of governmental function, and more." -- William Sorensen The Latin Americanist "Wentzell offers valuable insight into Mexico's modernity project, biomedical research testing, and a keen analysis of human interdependence." -- Alana Walls Anthropological Notebooks, Collective Biologies is an engaging, theoretically astute, and crisply written ethnography of research participation and shifting notions of gender and modernity in Mexico.

Synopsis
In Collective Biologies , Emily A. Wentzell uses sexual health research participation as a case study for investigating the use of individual health behaviors to aid groups facing crisis and change. Wentzell analyzes couples' experiences of a longitudinal study of HPV occurrence in men in Cuernavaca, Mexico. She observes how their experiences reflected Mexican cultural understandings of group belonging through categories like family and race. For instance, partners drew on collective rather than individualistic understandings of biology to hope that men's performance of "modern" masculinities, marriage, and healthcare via HPV research would aid groups ranging from church congregations to the Mexican populace. Thus, Wentzell challenges the common regulatory view of medical research participation as an individual pursuit. Instead, she demonstrates that medical research is a daily life arena that people might use for fixing embodied societal problems. By identifying forms of group interconnectedness as "collective biologies," Wentzell investigates how people can use their own actions to enhance collective health and well-being in ways that neoliberal emphasis on individuality obscures., Analyzing a longitudinal study of HPV occurrence in men in Cuernavaca, Mexico, Emily A. Wentzell explores how people can use individual health behaviors like participating in medical research to enhance group well-being amid crisis and change.
