Summary:

"This crucial expansion on social justice discourse explores practical applications for activist thought migrating from the community into the academy"-- Provided by publisher.

"This anthology assembles two decades' of work initiated by SisterSong Women of Color Health Collective, creators of the human rights-based "reproductive justice" framework to move beyond pro-choice/pro-life debates. Rooted in Black feminism and built on intersecting identities, this framework asserts a woman's right to have children, to not have children, and to parent and provide for the children they have"-- Provided by publisher.
