Over the course of the twentieth century, campaigns to increase
access to modern birth control methods spread across the globe and
fundamentally altered the way people thought about and mobilized
around reproduction. This book explores how a variety of actors
translated this movement into practice on four islands (Jamaica,
Trinidad, Barbados, and Bermuda) from the 1930s-70s. The process of
decolonization during this period led to heightened clashes over
imperial and national policy and brought local class, race, and
gender tensions to the surface, making debates over reproductive
practices particularly evocative and illustrative of broader
debates in the history of decolonization and international family
planning. Birth Control in the Decolonizing Caribbean is at once a
political history, a history of activism, and a social history,
exploring the challenges faced by working class women as they tried
to negotiate control over their reproductive lives.
