Outsourcing the Womb: Race, Class and Gestational Surrogacy in a Global Market
France Winddance Twine (University of California at Santa Barbara, USA)
Through case studies, Outsourcing the Womb, Second Edition provides a critical analysis and global tour of the international surrogacy landscape in Egypt, India, China, Japan, Israel, Ukraine, the European Union and the United States. By providing a comparative analysis of countries that have very different policies, this book disentangles the complex role that race, religion, class inequality, legal regimes, and global capitalism play in the gestational surrogacy market. This book provides an intersectional frame of analysis in which multiple forms of social inequality and power differences become institutionalized and restrict the access of some individuals and families while privileging others, and concludes with a discussion of reproductive justice and reproductive liberty. It is an ideal addition to courses on social problems, race, gender, and inequality.
