PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Matters of Choice: Puerto Rican Women\'s Struggle for Reproductive Freedom

Sterilization remains one of the most popular forms of fertility control in the world but it has received little acknowledgment for decreasing birthrates on account of its dubious use as a means of population control especially in developing countries In Matters of Choice Iris Lopez presents a comprehensive analysis of the dichotomous views that have portrayed sterilization either as part of a coercive program of population control or as a means of voluntary even liberating fertility control by individual women Drawing upon her twentyfive years of research on sterilized Puerto Rican women from five different families in Brooklyn Lopez untangles the interplay between how women make fertility decisions and their social economic cultural and historical constraints Weaving together the voices of these women she covers the history of sterilization and eugenics societal pressures to have fewer children a lack of adequate health care patterns of gender inequality and misinformation provided by doctors and family membersLopez makes a stirring case for a model of reproductive freedom taking readers beyond victimagent debates to consider a broader definition of reproductive rights within a feminist anthropological context. : .

A Contested Caribbean Indigeneity is an in-depth analysis of the debates surrounding Taíno/Boricua activism in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean diaspora in New York City. Drawing on in-depth ethnographic research, media analysis, and historical documents, the book explores the varied experiences and motivations of Taíno/Boricua activists as well as the alternative fonts of authority they draw on to claim what is commonly thought to be an extinct ethnic category. It explores the historical and interactional challenges involved in claiming membership in, what for many Puerto Ricans, is an impossible affiliation. In focusing on Taíno/Boricua activism, the books aims to identify a critical space from which to analyze and decolonize ethnoracial ideologies of Puerto Ricanness, issues of class and education, Puerto Rican nationalisms and colonialisms, as well as important questions regarding narrative, historical memory, and belonging.
