Reviews

Remarkable in its insight, Sophie A. Jones’s The Reproductive Politics of American Literature and Film, 1959-1973 investigates a range of texts from the long 1960s to demonstrate the role of reproductive contingency in cultural and biological reproduction. This timely analysis offers an original contribution to American literary and cultural studies. -- Beth Widmaier Capo, Illinois College
