This volume provides an investigation of the dynamics of reproduction. In a broad spectrum of essays, a group of feminist scholars and activists explore the complexity of contemporary sexual politics around the globe. Using reproduction as an entry point in the study of social life and placing it at the centre of social theory, the authors examine how cultures are produced, contested, and transformed as people imagine their collective future in the creation of the next generation.
