Reproducing Inequities

Poverty and the Politics of Population in Haiti

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Through a detailed study of the attempt to provide modern contraception in the community of Cite Soleil, this book demonstrates the complex interplay between local and global politics that so often thwarts well-intended policy initiatives. It argues that we too easily overlook the political dynamics that shape choices about family planning.
