In this collection of essays ten anthropologists and two historians
address the world-wide pattern of falling birth rates. Fertility
has commonly been treated from a specialized demographic
perspective, but there is today widespread dissatisfaction with
conventional demographic approaches, which are criticized for
neglecting the cultural, social, and political forces that affect
reproductive behavior. For their part, anthropologists have only
recently begun to apply their characteristic approaches to the
study of reproduction. Drawing on new ethnographic and historical
research and on a variety of theoretical approaches, the
contributors to this book indicate some of the ways in which
demography might take into account historical processes, political
forces, and cultural conceptions.
