book proposes the introduction of a development-related perspective to
scholarly critique of the human body's commodification. Nahavandi contends that the commodification of human
body parts reflects a modern form of such well-known historical phenomena as
slavery and colonization, and can be considered a new and additional form of
appropriation and extraction of resources from the Global South. What
are the commonalities between hair

to be tradeable. A world where, similar to any other goods, body parts have
entered the global market either legally or illegally. Through a series of
multidisciplinary comparative studies, the book explores how forms
commodification of the human body are fuelled by issues of poverty in the
Global South, and inequality in transnational relations.
