All That Was Not Her Meyers Todd
While studying caregiving and chronic illness in families living in situations of economic and social insecurity in Baltimore, anthropologist Todd Meyers met a woman named Beverly. He meditates on the possibilities of writing about someone who is gone--what should be represented, what experiences resist rendering, what ethical challenges exist when studying the lives of others. In All That Was Not Her Meyers presents an intimate ethnographic portrait of Beverly, stitching together small moments they shared scattered over months and years and into the present following her death.
Even as Meyers struggles to give her the final word, he finds himself unmade alongside Beverly. Meyers considers how chronic illness is bound up in the racialized and socioeconomic conditions of Beverly's life and explores the stakes of the anthropologist's engagement with one subject.
