Contraception, Colonialism and Commerce (eBook, ePUB)

Birth Control in South India, 1920-1940

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book outlines both the overlapping stories of the international birth control movement in south India, one of the strong-holds of Indian birth control advocacy, as well as the south Indian indigenization of international birth control. More than simply a supplementary narrative or case study, it argues that India's engagement with birth control remade the international scene just as India was refashioned by its engagement with international birth control.
