Contextualizing Family Planning

Meer over het boek

The book critically examines how identity formation is influenced by governmental family planning policies, highlighting the alienation of marginalized groups as "others" in contemporary liberalism. It explores discriminatory practices against the poor, racialized, and gendered individuals within the context of U.S. reproductive bio-politics and welfare policies. Panu argues that neo-liberal governance perpetuates domination and inequality through its foundational assumptions, suggesting that these interventions reinforce systems of exclusion rather than promote equity.
