Birth controlled

<p>This book analyses the world of selective reproduction by a critical analysis of three modes of controlling birth namely contraception reproductive violence and repro-genetic technologies. All population control policies target and vilify women (Black women in particular) and coerce them into subjecting their bodies to state and medical surveillance; <i>Birth controlled</i> argues that assisted reproductive technologies and repro-genetic technologies employ a similar and stratified burden of blame and responsibility based on gender race class and caste.<br><br>The book draws on gender studies sociology medical anthropology politics science and technology studies theology public health and epidemiology to provides a critical interdisciplinary and cutting-edge dialogue around the interconnected issues that shape reproductive politics in an ostensibly 'post-population control' era.</p>
