Photographs of orphans with vacant eyes, sad faces, and wasted bodies circled the globe, as did alarming maternal mortality statistics and heart-breaking details of a devastating infant AIDS epidemic. Gail Kligman's chilling ethnography-of the state and of the politics of reproduction-is the first in-depth examination of this extreme case of political intervention into the most intimate aspects of everyday life.Ceausescu's reproductive policies, among which the banning of abortion was central, affected the physical and emotional well-being not only of individual men, women, children, and families but also of society as a whole. Sexuality, intimacy, and fertility control were fraught with fear, which permeated daily life and took a heavy moral toll as lying and dissimulation transformed both individuals and the state. This powerful study is based on moving interviews with women and physicians as well as on documentary and archival material. In addition to discussing the social implications and human costs of restrictive reproductive legislation, Kligman explores the means by which reproductive issues become embedded in national and international agendas. She concludes with a review of the lessons the rest of the world can learn from Romania's tragic experience. 606 $aBirth control--Moral and ethical aspects$zRomania 607 $aRomania$xPopulation policy 607 $aRomania$xPolitics and government$y1944-1989 607 $aRomania$xSocial conditions 615 0$aBirth control--Moral and ethical aspects 676 $a363.9/09498 700 $aKligman$b Gail$0513109 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247902203316 996 $aThe Politics of Duplicity$92346085 997 $aUNISA
