Reproductive Justice is a first-of-its-kind primer that provides a
comprehensive yet succinct description of the field. Written by two
legendary scholar-activists, Reproductive Justice introduces
students to an intersectional analysis of race, class, and gender
politics. Loretta J. Ross and Rickie Solinger put the lives and
lived experience of women of color at the center of the book and
use a human rights analysis to show how the discussion around
reproductive justice differs significantly from the
pro-choice/anti-abortion debates that have long dominated the
headlines and mainstream political conflict. Arguing that
reproductive justice is a political movement of reproductive rights
and social justice, the authors illuminate, for example, the
complex web of structural obstacles a low-income, physically
disabled woman living in West Texas faces as she contemplates her
sexual and reproductive intentions. In a period in which women's
reproductive lives are imperiled, Reproductive Justice provides an
essential guide to understanding and mobilizing around women's
human rights in the twenty-first century. Reproductive Justice: A
New Vision for the Twenty-First Century publishes works that
explore the contours and content of reproductive justice. The
series will include primers intended for students and those new to
reproductive justice as well as books of original research that
will further knowledge and impact society. Learn more at
