Marginalized Reproduction

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'An exciting piece of academic work that is 'user friendly', well structured and thoroughly engaging'
Diversity in Health and Care

'This important and highly illuminating book fills a large gap in the literature on infertility and reproductive technologies and should be read by everyone with a connection to the field.'
Professor Susan Golombok, Director of Centre for Family Research, University of Cambridge

'This impressive multi-disciplinary collection makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the relationship between infertility, ethnicity and culture and how ethnicity and culture shape the experience of infertility in the West. The editors and chapter authors draw attention to important theoretical and methodological issues and to health and policy concerns.'
Gayle Letherby, Professor of Sociology, University of Plymouth

'The editors have done an excellent job of compiling in one place a group of informative and interesting chapters which draw our attention to a new perspective from which to view both the experience of infertility and the reality of industrialised societies.'
From the foreword by Professor Arthur L. Greil, Alfred University, New York

'As a multi-disciplinary collection, this volume offers a range of perspectives on how ethnicity, culture and infertility play out in particular contexts. As well as discussing experience of and policy around infertility, the chapters offer glimpses of the rich cultural critique available by examining the majority culture from the viewpoint of the involuntarily infertile minority ethnic couple.'
Sociology Of Health and Illness

'Should it be read by everyone with a connection to the field as Susan Golombok states on the cover? The answer has to be yes, if we are to improve the lot of minority groups and work towards better access to assisted conception.'
BioNews

'It is technically detailed and also informative to all categories of reader...the book is packed with realities and well presented facts about infertility.'
Omlola Ashadele, International Journal of Health Planning and Management.
