Birth Control in the Decolonizing Caribbean: Reproductive Politics and Practice

Description: Birth Control in the Decolonizing Caribbean by Nicole C. Bourbonnais Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Birth Control in the Decolonizing Caribbean explores how twentieth-century birth control campaigns intersected with wider debates over imperialism, nationalism, transnationalism, inequality, and culture in the Caribbean. This book will appeal to readers interested in Caribbean history, the African Diaspora, gender, race, and class politics, as well as transnational and social history. Publisher Description Over the course of the twentieth century, campaigns to increase access to modern birth control methods spread across the globe and fundamentally altered the way people thought about and mobilized around reproduction. This book explores how a variety of actors translated this movement into practice on four islands (Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, and Bermuda) from the 1930s–70s. The process of decolonization during this period led to heightened clashes over imperial and national policy and brought local class, race, and gender tensions to the surface, making debates over reproductive practices particularly evocative and illustrative of broader debates in the history of decolonization and international family planning. Birth Control in the Decolonizing Caribbean is at once a political history, a history of activism, and a social history, exploring the challenges faced by working class women as they tried to negotiate control over their reproductive lives. Author Biography Nicole C. Bourbonnais is an Assistant Professor of International History at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.
