Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This is a welcome addition to the literature on both migration and reproduction, bringing together in interesting ways the causes and consequences of forcible or agentive movement upon birth practices, plans, and outcomes...Overall, the chapters complement each other... providing a nice mix of ethnographic breadth and detailed analysis." * Perveez Mody, King's College, Cambridge "The phenomena that the volume addresses are complex, multi-faceted, timely and cutting-edge... Not only are these debates at the centre of anthropological inquiry, the strength of this volume lies precisely in its utility for both the humanities and the social sciences, while the writing is clear and appropriate for both advanced undergraduates and postgraduate students." * Anastasia Christou, Middlesex University
