Stigma by Katherine Dauge-Roth

Stigma by Katherine Dauge-Roth

Investigates the intersecting histories of tattooing, branding, stigmata, baptismal and beauty marks, and the wounds and scars borne by early modern men and women. Examines these forms of dermal marking as manifestations of a powerful and ubiquitous material practice.

“The authors in this volume focus critically on postmodern analyses of race, class, and gender for early modern studies and the history of the bodyAs a result, Stigma highlights a fresh history of skin that does not center solely on racial identity of the time but instead illuminates the changing, rather than fixed, understandings of skin during the early modern era.”

—Andrew Kettler, author of The Smell of Slavery: Olfactory Racism and the Atlantic World

“Stigma offers stimulating reading in the expanding field of skin studies and is a beautifully produced point of reference for accomplished interdisciplinary early modern studies.”

—Karen J. Lloyd Journal of Early Modern History
