Politics of the Womb: Women, Reproduction, and the State in Kenya book by Lynn M. Thomas
By Lynn M. ThomasPolitics of the Womb: Women, Reproduction, and the State in Kenya book by Lynn M. Thomas
"In Thomas's skilled hands, and in her unabashed love of story-telling, intimate events in Kenya help us think more clearly and more critically about Africa in the twentieth century. The politics of the womb are at the core of the colonial experience and of colonial politics…. Africans struggled amongst themselves over the regulation of reproduction, and these layers of intimate strife, and the policies and protests emanating from London and mission hospitals and African homesteads, give us something we haven't had before-- a gendered and transnational colonial history."—Luise White, author of Speaking with Vampires: Rumor and History in Colonial Africa Published By Univ of California Press on 2003-08-20
