Description

Marcia Inhorn's groundbreaking ethnographic study explores the adoption of in vitro fertilization technology in Egypt during the late 1990s boom period, when the country established more IVF clinics than neighbouring Israel. This scholarly work examines how elite, affluent couples navigated fertility treatment within a nation simultaneously leading Middle Eastern reproductive medicine and serving as a centre of Islamic education. Inhorn investigates the complex intersections of gender, science, religion and culture as IVF technology transferred from Euro-American origins to the Egyptian context, revealing how local beliefs, Islamic teachings and social hierarchies shaped the experience and meaning of assisted reproduction. The book provides valuable insights into medical anthropology, offering readers understanding of how global technologies are adapted and interpreted through distinct cultural, religious and social frameworks. Published by Routledge, this work contributes significantly to discussions about science, faith and reproduction in contemporary Middle Eastern societies.

Key Features

Inhorn's ethnographic fieldwork documents the experiences of affluent Egyptian couples pursuing in vitro fertilization during the late 1990s IVF technology boom.

The book examines gender, scientific, religious and cultural ramifications of IVF technology transfer from Euro-American origins to Egypt.

Analysis of Egypt's position as both a leading Middle Eastern IVF centre and a major Islamic educational hub creates unique sociological context.

Published by Routledge, this work contributes to medical anthropology and sociology literature on reproductive technologies and cultural adaptation.
