This narrative was popularized in the 1970s in Paul Ehrlich?s best-selling book The Population Bomb, which pathologized population growth in the Global South by presenting a doomsday scenario of widespread starvation resulting from that growth. Carole McCann uses an archive of foundational texts, disciplinary histories, participant reminiscences, and organizational records to reveal the gendered geopolitical grounds of the specialized mathematical culture, bureaucratic organization, and intertextual hierarchy that gave authority to the concept of population explosion. These demographic theories and measurement practices ignited the population ?crisis? and moved nations to interfere in women?s reproductive lives. Figuring the Population Bomb concludes that mid-twentieth-century demographic figures remain authoritative to this day in framing the context of transnational feminist activism for reproductive justice. 410 0$aFeminist technosciences. 606 $aPopulation$xSocial aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01071506 606 $aPopulation policy$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01071601 606 $aPopulation$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01071476 606 $aBirth control$xPolitical aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00833186 606 $aBirth control$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00833148 606 $aBirth control$xPolitical aspects 606 $aBirth control$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPopulation$xSocial aspects 606 $aPopulation policy 606 $aPopulation 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aPopulation$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aPopulation policy. 615 7$aPopulation. 615 7$aBirth control$xPolitical aspects. 615 7$aBirth control. 615 7$aBirth control$xPolitical aspects. 615 7$aBirth control$xHistory 615 7$aPopulation$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aPopulation policy. 615 7$aPopulation. 676 $a304.6 700 $aMcCann$b Carole R$g(Carole Ruth),$f1955-$01071048 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148605803321 996 $aFiguring the Population Bomb$92565753 997 $aUNINA
