Challenging Reproductive Control and Gendered Violence in the Am駻icas: Intersectionality, Power, and Struggles for Rights (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781498542593)

Challenging Reproductive Control and Gendered Violence in the Am駻icas: Intersectionality, Power, and Struggles for Rights utilizes an intersectional Chicana feminist approach to analyze reproductive and gendered violence against women in the Am駻icas and the role of feminist activism through case studies including the current state of reproductive justice in Texas, feminicides in Latin America, raising awareness about Ni Una M疽 and anti-feminicidal activism in Ciudad Ju疵ez, and reproductive rights in Latin America amidst the Zika virus. Each of these contemporary contexts provides new insights into the relationships between and among feminist activism; reproductive health; the role of the state, local governments, health organizations, and the media; and the women of color who are affected by the interplay of these discourses, mandates, and activist efforts.
