Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Interesting focus on fertility in East Asia (Chapter 4). But poor scientific research on LARCs. ( ) In 2016 the feminist theorist Donna Haraway was the subject of some controversy when she argued that, in the face of planetary environmental collapse, humans should "make kin, not babies". Seen at the time by some as complicit with problematical rhetoric around overpopulation and leading to some fiery exchanges in the letters section of the LRB, Haraway came under fire from many who she might have thought were allies (and not without due cause). This book of essays has emerged in response, looking to create a dialogue around the fraught subject and providing a space for different positions to make their case both for and against using population as a metric. It consists of six essays (including an introduction) that tackle a wide range of subjects in relation to population, including black lives matter, East Asian reproductive rights and American indigenous familial structures. The essays come from a wide range of feminist voices such as Ruha Benjamin, Kim Tall Bear, Michelle Murphy and others, as well as a new chapter from Haraway, where she develops and defends her position. Fairly short and lacking endnotes, this collection nonetheless feels really timely and urgent. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
As the planet's human numbers grow and environmental concerns proliferate, natural scientists, economists, and policy-makers are increasingly turning to new and old questions about families and kinship as matters of concern. From government programs designed to fight declining birth rates in Europe and East Asia, to controversial policies seeking to curb population growth in countries where birth rates remain high, to increasing income inequality transnationally, issues of reproduction introduce new and complicated moral and political quandaries. Making Kin Not Population ends the silence on these issues with essays from leading anti-racist, ecologically-concerned, feminist scholars. Though not always in accord, these contributors provide bold analyses of complex issues of intimacy and kinship, from reproductive justice to environmental justice, and from human and nonhuman genocides to new practices for making families and kin. This timely work offers vital proposals for forging innovative personal and public connections in the contemporary world. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
