description: Reproductive Justice is a first-of-its-kind primer that provides a comprehensive yet succinct description of the field. Written by two legendary scholar-activists Reproductive Justice introduces students to an intersectional analysis of race class and gender politics. Loretta J. Ross and Rickie Solinger put the lives and lived experience of women of color at the center of the book and use a human rights analysis to show how the discussion around reproductive justice differs significantly from the pro-choice/anti-abortion debates that have long dominated the headlines and mainstream political conflict. Arguing that reproductive justice is a political movement of reproductive rights and social justice the authors illuminate for example the complex web of structural obstacles a low-income physically disabled woman living in West Texas faces as she contemplates her sexual and reproductive intentions. In a period in which womens reproductive lives are imperiled Reproductive Justice provides an essential guide to understanding and mobilizing around womens human rights in the twenty-first century. Reproductive A New Vision for the Twenty-First Century publishes works that explore the contours and content of reproductive justice. The series will include primers intended for students and those new to reproductive justice as well as books of original research that will further knowledge and impact society.
