Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Deeply Private, Incredibly Public: Readings on the Sociology of Human Reproduction educates readers about cultural attitudes toward reproduction and pregnancy, changes taking place in reproductive medicine and technology, the meaning of reproductive power, and what the impact of reproduction and family might mean for them someday.The third edition has been significantly expanded and features nine new readings that explore human reproduction from a wide variety of perspectives. Section I now includes a reading on racial disparities in maternal and infant health. Section II includes readings on abortion in Tijuana, assisted reproductive technologies in Taiwan, the effects of culture and politics on reproductive autonomy, the correlation between gender stereotypes and parental status, and historical instances of eugenics that attempted to prevent individuals deemed 'unfit' from reproducing. Finally, Section III explores women of color and the fight for reproductive justice and the transition of a population from a regime characterized by high fertility and mortality to a regime with low fertility and mortality. It also includes an excerpt from Saving Katie: A Father's Story, a book about a young girl who was diagnosed with a severe disease shortly after her birth and her parents' attempts to save her life.Sensitive and insightful, Deeply Private, Incredibly Public is a valuable resource for courses in sociology.
