Overview
Sexual and Reproductive Health in China: Reorienting Concepts and Methodology is translated from the original Chinese version and presents a multi-disciplinary approach to the current assessment of the changes in sexual and reproductive health during the past thirty years. This volume and the others in the SSRC series, provide western scholars with an accessible English language look at the state of current scholarship in China, and as such, does not simply provide information for the direct study of socio-political issues, but also for meta-level analysis of how the domestic scholarship in China is developing and assessing the interplay of the country's political and economic reforms with the society and daily life of its people.

Reviews
[Sexual and Reproductive Health in China] provide[s] a comprehensive overview of the country's major achievements and challenges during this era. [...] Overall, this book is a testimony to the impact of the globalization of ideas and global norms in reproductive health (how these new ideas are adapted and help shape policy reform), and illustrates the global interconnections that characterize our world in 2012. Joan Kaufman, Brandeis University (Studies in Family Planning 43.3, 2012) This compilation brings together a diverse array of manuscripts focused on sexual and reproductive health in China. [...] there are several insightful pieces that represent new thinking on these old topics. [...]Sexual and Reproductive Health in China is an important and timely reminder of the progress in sexual and reproductive health made thus far and the work that remains ahead. [...] The editor and authors should be commended for their contribution to understanding sexual and reproductive health in China. Joseph D. Tucker (The China Quarterly 209, March 2012)
