Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the complexities of international surrogacy, this book examines various countries' policies and practices, including Egypt, India, and the United States. It explores how race, religion, and class inequalities shape the surrogacy market within a framework of global capitalism. By analyzing the institutionalization of social inequalities, it highlights how access to surrogacy is unevenly distributed. The discussion culminates in themes of "reproductive justice" and "reproductive liberty," making it a valuable resource for courses on social issues, race, and gender.
