Why read it?
1 author picked Reproduction on the Reservation as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a first. Theobald gives us a really interesting and comprehensive history of pregnancy, birthing, motherhood -- and activism -- on the Crow Reservation in Montana. She explains the interventions of the federal government, for example, via coercive sterilization and child removal, and provides rich accounts of family, tribal, and inter-tribal resistance -- and claims of self-determination -- in the face of these interventions.
From Rickie's list on why we need reproductive justice.
