'. . . but not gagged'. Responding to Covid-19 and its control measures in France, Italy and the USA

The beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic was far from the 'great equalizer' sometimes described by the media. This article shares themes emerging from research conducted in 2020 in France, Italy and the USA concerning responses to the pandemic and its social effects. The authors analyze how the pandemic elicited varied reactions within the three countries where they conducted anthropological fieldwork. They propose that narratives of the Covid-19 response can shed light on how individuals navigate social and political relationships in each context.
