Transnational Reproduction traces the relationships among Western
aspiring parents, Indian surrogates, and egg donors from around the
world. In the early 2010s India was one of the top providers of
surrogacy services in the world. Drawing on interviews with
commissioning parents, surrogates, and egg donors as well as
doctors and family members, Daisy Deomampo argues that while the
surrogacy industry in India offers a clear example of "stratified
reproduction"-the ways in which political, economic, and social
forces structure the conditions under which women carry out
physical and social reproductive labor-it also complicates that
concept as the various actors in this reproductive work struggle to
understand their relationships to one another. The book shows how
these actors make sense of their connections, illuminating the ways
in which kinship ties are challenged, transformed, or reinforced in
the context of transnational gestational surrogacy. The volume
revisits the concept of stratified reproduction in ways that offer
a more robust and nuanced understanding of race and power as ideas
about kinship intersect with structures of inequality. It
demonstrates that while reproductive actors share a common quest
for conception, they make sense of family in the context of
globalized assisted reproductive technologies in very different
ways. In doing so, Deomampo uncovers the specific racial
reproductive imaginaries that underpin the unequal relations at the
heart of transnational surrogacy.
