Challenging Choices moves the history of the abortion debates of the 1970s along in important ways -- both by considering reproductive justice as the critical paradigm and by foregrounding racialization, socioeconomic status, place, age, and gender in new ways. Mary-Ellen Kelm, Simon Fraser University Challenging Choices provides a rich and impressively diverse analysis of 1970s reproductive discourses in Canada. Its astutely nuanced interpretations benefit from authors Erika Dyck and Maureen Lux's expertise in the history of eugenics and Indigenous-government relations, respectively. The book constitutes a welcome contribution to the historiography on eugenics, deinstitutionalization, and disability as well as reproductive and Indigenous rights in Canada. Spontaneous Generations
