Opis

This book is a comprehensive history of reproductive politics and practice in the twentieth-century Anglophone Caribbean.

Recenzje

'Exhaustively and impeccably researched in archives and special collections across the Atlantic, Bourbonnais visited no less than six countries for this study - an impressive feat. The finished history is an excellent interdisciplinary study that will make its mark within a multitude of historical discourses.' Colleen A. Vasconcellos, Journal of Interdisciplinary History
