Routledge - Marginalized Reproduction: Ethnicity and Infertility

With over 75 million people worldwide facing involuntary childlessness, the social and psychological impact is profound, especially for women. This volume from the Earthscan Science in Society Series addresses a significant gap in political and academic discourse regarding the needs of minority ethnic men and women. This groundbreaking book examines how diverse ethnic, cultural, and religious identities influence the way technological solutions for infertility are understood and used. While infertility rates may be higher in certain groups and carry heavy cultural weight, these specific experiences have often been overlooked in broader studies. This work provides a necessary look at the intersection of ethnicity and reproductive technology, offering insights for researchers, students, and professionals interested in the social aspects of science and medicine.
