Description
This book focuses on reproductive justice through a culturally-centered and intersectional lens. The autoethnographic nature of each chapter allows contributors to unpack issues surrounding reproductive justice from their perspectives and allows readers to look towards understanding the issue from a personal and structural level.
“The current book examines intersectional reproductive narratives enmeshed in everyday lives of marginalized and disenfranchised individuals and the impact of reproductive care policies on such groups. Each autoethnographic essay provides a rich and complex narrative, introduces the topic and by delving into the experiences of both the providers and those impacted by the issue, uncovers the lived experiences and social and structural inequities and disparities. The book would be useful for anyone interested in the topic of reproductive justice, for the researchers and policymakers who want to understand this issue further, and for college teachers interested in introducing some of these issues in the classroom.”
“A Culturally-Centered and Intersectional Approach to Reproductive Justice is vitally important to the current historical moment. Authors in this collection utilize autoethnography to tell stories focused on painful, challenging, and traumatic experiences surrounding threats to bodily autonomy and access to safe abortion care. Orbiting around reproductive justice and intersectionality as an important focus for health research, this diverse constellation of narratives will appeal to scholars in health communication, public health, health education, women’s, gender, and sexuality studies, and autoethnography.”
