Abstract

Lara Marks traces the scientific origins of the pill to Europe and Mexico in the early years of the twentieth century, challenging previous accounts that championed it as a North American product. She explores the reasons why the pill took so long to be developed and explains why it did not prove to be the social panacea envisioned by its inventors. Unacceptable to the Catholic Church, rejected by countries such as India and Japan, too expensive for women in poor countries, it has, more recently, been linked to cardiovascular problems. Reviewing the positive effects of the pill, Marks shows how it has been transformed from a tool for the prevention of conception to a major weapon in the fight against cancer.

In June 1999, a United Nations General Assembly Special Session reviewed and appraised progress toward implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo, 1994. At this Special Session, the Governments of the world again recognised unsafe abortion as a major public health concern, and pledged their commitment to reduce the need for abortion through expanded and improved family planning services.

Abstract

"THE WOMBS OF WOMEN, originally published in France in 2017 as Le Ventre des femmes, and translated into English by French and Africana studies scholar Kaiama Glover, is Françoise Vergès's examination of the 1970s scandal in Réunion upon the discovery that doctors had performed thousands of abortions on Réunionese women without their knowledge, and had collected Social Security reimbursements by over-reporting and falsifying medical costs. For Vergès, the scandal and its aftermath-in which the doctors responsible received minimal to no legal or criminal repercussions, and the Réunionese women received no reparations-exemplifies the coloniality of power in French overseas departments in the postcolonial era. Additionally, this book seeks to intervene in the raced and classed constructions of French feminism and to ask why the voices of women from the overseas departments rarely appear in French feminist analysis. Chapter 1 offers a detailed account of the events surrounding the forced abortions and sterilization of Réunionese women. Chapters 2 and 4 provide historical context for understanding the transition from colonial to postcolonial in the overseas departments, and how population management came to define the postcolonial condition of Réunion. Chapter 3 foregrounds the workings of racial capitalism, and specifically how the wombs of black women are raced. Chapter 5 intervenes in constructions of French feminism and centers the experiences of women living in the French overseas departments. This book will be of interests to scholars of feminism; colonial, postcolonial, and decolonial studies; French studies; African studies; and critical ethnic studies"-- In this book, one of Vergès's primary aims is to interrogate the French definition of the "postcolonial," positing the postcolonial not as a temporality but rather a set of practices and politics that took (and continue to take) place in the wake of the empire's supposed dissolution. Postcoloniality, according to Vergès, is therefore not the end of the colonial relationship but a re-imagining of the colonial territory into French constituencies and "overseas" departments, and is the condition which allowed for the abuse and violence against Réunionese women to take place. In particular, Vergès examines the history of racialized capitalism in Réunion, and the changing discourses of birth control and population management in France and the overseas territories that occured in the transitional moment from colonial to postcolonial.

Abstract

Publikatie naar aanleiding van de bevolkingsconferentie in Caïro 1994. De auteurs willen de stemmen van vrouwen uit het Zuiden laten horen. Meer in het bijzonder hun meningen over het bevolkingsvraagstuk. Vanuit feministisch standpunt worden verbanden tussen economische processen, demografische dynamieken en de positie van vrouwen geanalyseerd. De schadelijke effecten voor vrouwen, van beleidsmaatregelen die de vruchtbaarheid aan regulering onderwerpen, worden aangetoond. De auteurs suggereren strategieën voor politieke actie, door de internationale vrouwenbeweging, aangaande seksuele en reproduktieve gezondheid en vrouwenrechten; thema's die ook in Peking op de agenda stonden.
