A Culturally-Centered and Intersectional Approach to Reproductive
Justice investigates and challenges assumptions and pre-existing
notions regarding reproductive justice by grounding this work in a
more inclusive and culturally informed context. Throughout history,
contributors argue, reproductive justice movements have centered
white, cisgendered, and non-disabled women in the West. Along with
women in the Global South being underrepresented in scholarship,
research tends to focus only on the abuses they have suffered,
rather than delving deeper into issues of structures, barriers, or
agency. Each chapter is written from an autoethnographic
perspective to unpack the contributors’ challenges with achieving
reproductive justice for themselves and their respective
communities. Ultimately, this book asserts that when different
facets of reproductive justice are presented in the form of
narrative self-reflexivity, readers find a space to safely evaluate
their positionality within the larger reproductive justice movement
while simultaneously acknowledging the complexity of the movement
itself. Scholars of communication, health, and women’s and gender
studies will find this book of particular interest.
This book looks at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrants
globally who bear disproportionate burdens of health disparities.
Centering the voices of migrants as anchors for theorizing health,
the chapters adopt an array of decolonizing and interventionist
methodologies that offer conceptual communicative resources for
re-organizing economics, politics, culture, and society in logics
of care. Each chapter focuses on the health of migrants during the
pandemic, highlighting the role of communication in amplifying and
solving the health crisis experienced by migrants. The chapters
draw together various communicative resources and practices tied to
migrant negotiations of precarity and exclusion. Health is situated
amidst the forces of authoritarianism, disinformation, hate, and
exploitation targeting migrant bodies. The book builds a narrative
archive witnessing this fundamental geopolitical rupture in the
21st century, documenting the violence built into the zeitgeist of
labor exploitation amidst neoliberal transformations, situating
health with the extractive and exploitative forms of organizing
migrant labor. The book is essential reading for advanced
undergraduate or graduate courses for scholars studying critical
and global health, development, and participatory communication,
migration, globalization, international and intercultural
communication interested in the questions of precarity and
marginality of health during pandemics.
