"The editor declares that the co-emergence of concepts of race and gender in the period here examined was not just a question of simultaneity, noting that rarely have they been examined in relation to each other. This prompts us to expect that the contributions will focus on this interrelation. But not all of the contributions address this concern, remaining content to develop interesting new aspects of one or the other of these concepts in isolation from the other. For all that, we are indebted to the contributors for taking up the difficult challenge the subject presents." — Isis"This collection contributes to an increasingly important issue in philosophy and the history of ideas, examining the emergence of the interrelated discourses of reproduction, 'race' and gender." — Radical Philosophy
