BLACKWELL COMPANIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY

A Companion to the Anthropology of Reproductive Medicine and Technology

"A magnificently capacious volume, that enlivens the argument that reproduction sits at the heart of all of anthropological theory, and profoundly makes the case that reproductive justice is earth justice."
--Professor Elizabeth F.S. Roberts, Department of Anthropology, University of Michigan.

"The Editors have curated a stunning compendium on reproduction. This companion is essential to understanding the landscape of reproduction. The editors have done an incredible job of bringing together rich scholarship that is fundamental across disciplines."
--Professor Dána-Ain Davis, Center for the Study of Women and Society, City University of New York.

"This volume highlights deeply embodied human experiences, offering critical analyses of the gendered political economies that shape procreative conditions across uneven global terrains. This is an indispensable resource for 21st century studies of human reproduction."
--Professor Tine M. Gammeltoft, Department of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen.

A Companion to the Anthropology of Reproductive Medicine and Technology provides a comprehensive overview of anthropological research on reproductive medicine, healthcare, science, and technology.

In this handbook, a multidisciplinary panel of leading and emerging scholars in reproductive studies offers fresh perspectives on reproductive sciences, practices, technologies, and interventions around the globe. With a focus on the role of technology and reproductive justice, this ground-breaking volume brings medical anthropology in conversation with other disciplines. Each chapter reviews theoretical developments and contemporary debates in the field, provides rich ethnographic case studies, and offers recommendations for future research.

An invaluable resource for students, scholars, and educators in fields of anthropology, Science and Technology Studies, gender and sexuality studies, and race and ethnicity studies, this Companion also offers vital insights for medical practitioners, policymakers, and activists involved in public health and reproductive justice.
