Recenzii
This ground-breaking volume, replete with rich ethnography and cutting-edge theory, provides the single best analysis of women's reproductive lives under an increasingly authoritarian, neoconservative Middle Eastern regime. The authors document multiple forms of reproductive surveillance, discrimination, and violence against women in Turkey, while also highlighting women's pragmatism, creative use of technology, and feminist struggle. A must-read for Middle East gender studies scholars, medical anthropologists and sociologists of reproduction, and all those advocating for reproductive justice.
This book contains an outstanding ethnographic material and a brilliant analysis of the transformations Erdogan's rule has produced in women's material and moral lives. Focusing on neoliberal economic reforms, neoconservative state policies and religious revival, the volume's contributors explore their effects on women's reproductive and sexual practices. Inspired by a feminist critical engagement, the twelve chapters provide the reader with a multidimensional view of the authoritarian and often misogynist evolution of Turkish society in the early 21th century in light of women's reproductive, maternal and sexual bodies. Last but not least, this book offers an extensive insight into transnational socio-political dynamics that affect several countries of the MENA region stimulating the dialogue with scholars working in this area.
Gender has always been at the center of nation-making in several contexts, including the Middle East. The chapters in this edited volume describes, in detail, how the recent political turn in Turkey cannot be understood without a thorough feminist critique of everyday politics.
The book greatly contributes to our understanding of modern Turkish politics and will prove to be a resource for scholars and students alike.
'Captivating book on the complex relationships between women's bodies and state, medicine, and religion in the new Turkey. An original and fascinating collection of empirically grounded papers on women's bodies, sexualities, agency, and politics. It provides a range of ethnographies from egg freezings to egg selling, from c-sections to abortion, from fatwas to Islamic fashion. Deeply theorized ethnographies discuss the discourses of sexuality and reproduction. The reader almost hears the voices of women in the beautiful writings of brilliant young scholars. A must-read for scholars of New Turkey, feminism, and sexualities.'
