Produktbeschreibung

The book provides a geographical lens on questions of reproduction, fertility and birth in a world where procreation increasingly turns into a global endeavour. It explores the role that mobility, place and embodiment play in women and men's experiences of fertility and birth, and evidences dynamics of cultural difference, intergenerational networks, performances of care and social inequity.
