Ideas of choice and rights traditionally dominate discussions
concerning reproduction and gender politics. Fertile Ground argues
that the current political climate in Canada necessitates a broader
understanding of the links between the politics of reproduction,
the state, and gender relations. Three major themes are developed
in the book: women's lived experiences, the role of the state in
reproductive politics, and discourses around reproduction.
Contributors examine unequal access to in vitro fertilization
treatments depending upon class, race, age, disability, and health
status; critique Health Canada's adherence to a medical model of
breastfeeding; analyze marketing campaigns for birth-control
products; and recount the Aamjiwnaang First Nation's experience of
seeking recognition for reproductive health concerns. Fertile
Ground links reproduction to marginalization, contestation, and the
state in order to illuminate the continuity of reproductive moments
and their implications for identity, activism, policy formation,
and further scholarship. A timely and multidisciplinary account of
reproduction and gender politics in Canada, Fertile Ground will
interest academics, activists, and professionals involved in the
areas of women's studies, politics, sociology, and public health.
