Summary: The sites, spaces, and subjects of reproduction are distinctly geographical. Reproductive geographies span different scales--body, home, local, national, global--and movements across space. This book expands our understanding of the socio-cultural and spatial aspects of fertility, pregnancy, and birth. The chapters directly address global perspectives, the future of reproductive politics and state-focused approaches to the politicization of fertility, pregnancy, and birth. The book provides up-to-date explorations on the changing landscapes of reproduction, including the expansion of reproductive technologies, such as surrogacy and intrauterine insemination. Contributions in this book focus on phenomenologically inspired accounts of women's lived experience of pregnancy and birth, the biopolitics of birth and citizenship, the material histories of reproductive tissues as "scientific objects" and engagements with public health and development policy.
