Reviews

“The approach is fresh, the writing accessible and engaging. The authors have deep knowledge of the subject and convey it with clarity and enthusiasm […] Han and Tomori are far and away the best scholars for the job.” – Carole H. Browner, Co-editor of Reproduction, Globalization, and the State (Duke 2012), UCLA “Care is taken to situate human reproduction holistically; this is useful not only for students with a background in anthropology – it gives students in other disciplines a different and more complete picture of human reproduction.” – Keri Canada, Colorado State University “Anthropology's holistic approach makes it an ideal discipline for studying reproduction. This text utilizes that comprehensive perspective, emphasizing the importance of understanding diverse contexts—political, economic, historical, and racial—to educate readers on social inequalities.” – Angela Castañeda, DePauw University
