N'Dréa:
One Woman's Fight to Die Her Own Way
by Andréa Dorea
Translated by Donald Nicholson-Smith
Andréa (N’Dréa) was involved with Os Cangaceiros,
a group of social rebels who refused the slavery of work and mercilessly
attacked the prison system of France in the 1980s and '90s. In
1985, she learned that she had cancer. After surgery, chemotherapy
and radiation treatment, she walked out of the medical world for
good. N'Dréa explains that decision with intelligence,
anger and joy. It is a powerful condemnation of the medical industry,
a passionate analysis of the society of the commodity and its
destruction of the human individual, and a personal expression
of one woman’s decision to live her life fully and to die
on her own terms among those she loved, in defiance of a society
that steals both our lives and deaths away.
