By examining the political significance-and complex ramifications-of reproductive controversies in twentieth-century Kenya, this book explores why and how control of female initiation, abortion, childbirth, and premarital pregnancy have been crucial to the exercise of colonial and postcolonial power. This innovative book enriches the study of gender, reproduction, sexuality, and African history by revealing how reproductive controversies challenged long-standing social hierarchies and contributed to the construction of new ones that continue to influence the fraught politics of abortion, birth control, female genital cutting, and HIV/AIDS in Africa.ACLS Fellows’ publications.WomenKenyaHistoryFemale genital mutilationKenyaHistoryWomenKenyaSocial conditionsSex roleKenyaKenyaSocial conditions20th century.abortion.africa.african history.anthropology sociology.anthropology.birth control.childbirth.colonialism.female initiation.gender studies.genital mutilation.hiv aids.kenya.kenyan politics.nonfiction.political perspective.political power.political struggles.postcolonial power.premarital pregnancy.reproduction.reproductive controversies.reproductive rights.reproductive studies.sexuality.social hierarchies.women.womens rights.WomenHistory.Female genital mutilationHistory.WomenSocial conditions.Sex role305.4/096762Thomas Lynn M1008239MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996248024103316Politics of the womb2325117UNISA
