At a moment when reproduction is increasingly politicized, this
volume explores the breadth of contemporary research on
reproduction from the perspective of medical sociology,
illuminating the lived experience of reproduction and offering
insights to inform sociology and health policy. Reproduction,
Health, and Medicine elucidates the tensions and contradictions
between the normal physiologic processes of pregnancy and birth and
the sociocultural beliefs, values, and arrangements that shape how
we experience these biological phenomena. Investigating a range of
reproductive events and experiences, including pregnancy, birth,
abortion and fertility planning, the volume advances our
understanding of how lay people and professionals make cultural
meaning out of these processes in diverse settings. The chapters
highlight how studies of reproduction, health, and medicine
interface with core sociological concepts such as stratification,
inequality, intersectionality, family and kinship, risk, and social
control, and how experiences of reproduction are shaped by gender,
race, class, sexuality and citizenship, as well as culture, health
care systems, and health politics.
