This open access book engages with the concept of reproductive
justice by exploring case studies of struggles around abortion in
the context of rising anti-genderism, religious fundamentalism, and
ethno-nationalism. Based on rich qualitative data offering in-depth
analyses from different geographical, political and cultural
contexts, the book explores how reproductive justice is understood,
contested and given meaning. Chapters further develop the Black
feminist concept of reproductive justice in a critical dialogue
with postcolonial theory and explore the strength of transnational
feminist practices. This book thus offers a fresh approach to the
issue of abortion by engaging with contemporary political and
cultural processes, and it expands the narrow notions of women’s
rights, particularly notions of property rights over bodies,
towards an analysis of the political economy of social reproduction
and how it affects bodies that can be pregnant. This volume will be
of interest to scholars with interests in reproductive justice,
anti-gender politics, and religious fundamentalism.
