Reproductive Justice: An Introduction (Reproductive Justice: A New Vision for the 21st Century Book 1)

Reproductive JusticeÂ is a first-of-its-kind primer that provides a comprehensive yet succinct description of the field. Written by two legendary scholar-activists, Reproductive Justice introduces students to an intersectional analysis of race, class, and gender politics. Loretta J. Ross and Rickie Solinger put the lives and lived experience of women of color at the center of the book and use a human rights analysis to show how the discussion around reproductive justice differs significantly from the pro-choice/anti-abortion debates that have long dominated the headlines and mainstream political conflict.Â Arguing that reproductive justice is a political movement ofÂ reproductive rights and social justice, the authors illuminate, for example, the complex web of structural obstacles a low-income, physically disabled woman living in West Texas faces as she contemplates her sexual and reproductive intentions. In a period in which womenâ€™s reproductive lives are imperiled, Reproductive Justice provides an essential guide to understanding and mobilizing around womenâ€™s human rights in the twenty-first century.
