Beskrivning

At their core, laws and policies regulate who should reproduce, how they should do so, and what kinds of families matter. As feminist historian Laura Briggs writes, “All politics are reproductive politics.”In Canada, as elsewhere, evolving reproductive technologies, uneven care infrastructures, restrictive family migration policies, and inequitable access to healthcare services determine who has control over their own reproductive lives – and who does not.This interdisciplinary volume interrogates the contemporary climate of reproductive justice in Canada, examining how law, public policy, and other institutions shape reproductive decision making.Born and Raised situates reproduction in Canada’s nation-building project, exploring how experiences of parenting, sterilization, miscarriage, abortion access, breastfeeding, and intergenerational care, among others, are moulded by longstanding legacies of racism, colonialism, and eugenics.

“An excellent volume, Born and Raised engages reproductive justice from both scholarly and activist locations, across a variety of methodological and theoretical approaches, underscoring the political import of this broad area of sociality.” – Lois Harder, author of Canadian Club: Birthright Citizenship and Belonging “Born and Raised is a timely, thoughtfully curated, accessible, and well-organized volume that explores and advocates for reproductive justice. A teachable tool, it provides an incredibly useful overview for students.” – Amanda D. Watson, author of The Juggling Mother: Coming Undone in the Age of Anxiety
