Alissa Jordan is currently finishing her book, Atlas Nanm: Bodily Openings Encounters Haiti. Her work focuses on the intersection of ethnography and the embodied wisdom that women generate in various sites related to their bodies. The book organizes insights around sites such as mouths, uteruses, eyes, skin, and dreams, conceptualizing a multimedia atlas that encapsulates the life force known as nanm, which moves through women's bodies as portals. Jordan highlights how lived experiences of care can become authoritative sources of insight regarding how bodies interact with demands for care and how structural violence is addressed through collective bodily practices. The prose of her book interweaves theoretical interludes with collaborative illustrations and graphic concoctions, including photographs and diagrams made with her interlocutors. She has a book contract with the University of Pennsylvania Press.
