"Reproduction, Globalization, and the State" conceptualizes and
puts into practice a global anthropology of reproduction and
reproductive health. Leading anthropologists offer new perspectives
on how transnational migration and global flows of communications,
commodities, and biotechnologies affect the reproductive lives of
women and men in diverse societies throughout the world. Based on
research in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Western Europe, their
fascinating ethnographies provide insight into reproduction and
reproductive health broadly conceived to encompass population
control, HIV/AIDS, assisted reproductive technologies, paternity
tests, sex work, and humanitarian assistance. The contributors
address the methodological challenges of research on globalization,
including ways of combining fine-grained ethnography with analyses
of large-scale political, economic, and ideological forces. Their
essays reveal complex interactions among global and state
population policies and politics; public health, human rights, and
feminist movements; diverse medical systems; various religious
practices, doctrines, and institutions; and intimate relationships
and individual aspirations.
