About The Book

<p> <b>Nominated for the 2007 Book Prize by the Council on Anthropology and Reproduction (AAA)</b></p><p> Reproductive disruptions such as infertility pregnancy loss adoption and childhood disability are among the most distressing experiences in people's lives. Based on research by leading medical anthropologists from around the world this book examines such issues as local practices detrimental to safe pregnancy and birth; conflicting reproductive goals between women and men; miscommunications between pregnant women and their genetic counselors; cultural anxieties over gamete donation and adoption; the contested meanings of abortion; cultural critiques of hormone replacement therapy; and the globalization of new pharmaceutical and assisted reproductive technologies. This breadth - with its explicit move from the local to the global from the realm of everyday reproductive practice to international programs and policies - illuminates most effectively the workings of power the tensions between women's and men's reproductive agency and various cultural and structural inequalities in reproductive health.</p>
