Metagnosis has an intellectual sophistication that gives health humanities increased credibility by commanding a broad readership. Spencer moves beyond programmatic writing proclaiming the need for health humanities; she demonstrates what can be done in this new field. Her full length, intricately integrated book shows specifically medical issues as one aspect of how society is based on a distribution of knowledges that, by categorizing identities, affect who people think they are and who they believe they can be.
