Sociología y Género
Este libro ofrece una visión general del pensamiento feminista y muestra cómo esta forma de conocimiento obliga a repensar las Ciencias Sociales, particularmente la Sociología. Habida cuenta de la variedad de temas abordados desde el feminismo, así como de la existencia, dentro de éste, de diversos enfoques, nos hemos inclinado por una obra colectiva. Cada uno de los capítulos ha sido elaborado por una o varias personas expertas en una particular esfera del saber y desde su propia perspectiva teórica, si bien, manteniendo la coherencia que inspira el conjunto de la obra. Sociología y Género comienza explicando las principales teorías feministas y las críticas metodológicas por el...

Un lugar indefinido. El género en la agenda municipal
En este libro la autora aclara que un lugar indefinido alude a caminos imprecisos, a límites borrosos y puede significar no estar en ninguna parte y que su significado refiere también a posibilidades y nuevos cambios. Señala que indefinido es el lugar de las políticas y dependencias que atienden los problemas de la condición de las mujeres en la agenda gubernamental. Aborda la forma en la que los gobiernos mexicanos han decidido enfrentar los problemas que se crean a partir de las condiciones de desigualdad de las mujeres y analiza el conjunto de actividades que desarrollan las dependencias creadas en los gobiernos municipales para atender estos problemas aunque, agrega, no parecen ser la vía idónea para modificar las estructuras prácticas que les dan permanencia.

Contraceptive Research, Introduction, and Use
As the first real contraceptive innovation in over 20 years, and as a long-acting method requiring clinical intervention for application and removal, the implantable contraceptive Norplant has raised a wide range of issues that could offer valuable lessons about the problems to be addressed if other new contraceptive technologies are to enter the marketplace. In April 1997 an Institute of Medicine workshop on implant contraceptives reviewed newly available data on Norplant's efficacy, safety, and use; identified lessons to be learned about the method's development, introduction, use, and market experience; and explored approaches to developing and introducing new contraceptives based on those lessons. This resulting book contains an examination of Norplant's efficacy and safety, its user populations, training for insertion and removal, consumer perspectives (quality of care, informed decisionmaking, and consumer involvement), and new approaches to contraceptive development and introduction. An appendix contains summaries of 17 workshop presentations.
Childbirth and Authoritative Knowledge
This benchmark collection of cross-cultural essays on reproduction and childbirth extends and enriches the work of Brigitte Jordan, who helped generate and define the field of the anthropology of birth. The authors' focus on authoritative knowledge—the knowledge that counts, on the basis of which decisions are made and actions taken—highlights the vast differences between birthing systems that give authority of knowing to women and their communities and those that invest it in experts and machines. Childbirth and Authoritative Knowledge offers first-hand ethnographic research conducted by anthropologists in sixteen different societies and cultures and includes the interdisciplinary persp...
Progressive Mothers, Better Babies
In Bahia, Brazil, the decades following emancipation saw the rise of reformers who sought to reshape the citizenry by educating Bahian women in methods for raising “better babies.” The idealized Brazilian would be better equipped to contribute to the labor and organizational needs of a modern nation. Backed by many physicians, politicians, and intellectuals, the resulting welfare programs for mothers and children mirrored complex debates about Brazilian nationality. Examining the local and national contours of this movement, Progressive Mothers, Better Babies investigates families, medical institutions, state-building, and social stratification to trace the resulting policies, which gath...
The Male Pill
The Male Pill is the first book to reveal the history of hormonal contraceptives for men. Nelly Oudshoorn explains why it is that, although the technical feasibility of male contraceptives was demonstrated as early as the 1970s, there is, to date, no male pill. Ever since the idea of hormonal contraceptives for men was introduced, scientists, feminists, journalists, and pharmaceutical entrepreneurs have questioned whether men and women would accept a new male contraceptive if one were available. Providing a richly detailed examination of the cultural, scientific, and policy work around the male pill from the 1960s through the 1990s, Oudshoorn advances work at the intersection of gender studi...
