Contraception is an issue of considerable concern to a great many
heterosexually active people. Yet the impact of contraceptive
technologies in the world today, in particular their implications
for kinship, gender relations, and other aspects of social life,
receives relatively little scholarly attention.
This book brings a new perspective to the study of contraception,
by collecting together in one volume leading experts in the fields
of contraception, family planning and reproductive health.
Contributors look at the social, economic, political and cultural
contexts in which contraceptive providers and recipients make
decisions about whether and what forms of contraception to use.
User perspectives (whether those of recipients or providers of
contraceptive services) are taken seriously, as are the
perspectives of policy-makers and development experts. With its
in-depth, case-study approach, this challenging book will appeal to
practitioners and planners in the fields of family planning and
reproductive health, as well as to students and academics of
applied and medical anthropology, health studies, gender and
development studies, or anyone interested in the social, cultural
and ethical issues raised by contraceptive technologies.
