Reproductive Racism: Migration, Birth Control and the Specter of Population - Hardcover

by Susanne Schultz (Author)

The book analyses how demographic knowledge production and states' grip to the variable of population intertwine. It introduces the concept of the Malthusian matrix in order to understand how class-selective and racist hierarchies within population narratives are combined with gendered policies of reproductive bodies and behaviours.
