Reproductive States
When it comes to government's role in personal matters such as family planning, most bristle at any interference from the State on how to exercise their reproductive rights. China's infamous "one child" policy is a well-known example of reproductive politics, but history is filled with other examples of governmental population control to advance its interests. Reproductive States is the first volume of a collection of case studies that explores when and how some of the most populous countries in the world invented and implemented state population policies in the 20th century. The authors, scholars specializing in reproductive politics, survey population policies from key countries on five co...

Bangladesh
Bangladesh es uno de los países más olvidados del planeta. Parece que solo devastadores ciclones, derrumbes en la industria textil o crisis humanitarias como el éxodo de refugiados rohinyás desde Birmania son capaces de catapultarlo a los titulares. Sin embargo, este pequeño y superpoblado rincón de Asia es mucho más. Es un fascinante lugar en continua efervescencia. Un cuadrilátero de la batalla contra el cambio climático en medio de un ecosistema en transformación. Un país de extremos y pasiones que a veces camina como funambulista entre el islam y el secularismo. Un país en busca de una identidad en un siglo XXI de desarrollo vertiginoso y desigualdades sociales. En ese maremágnum intenso aparece una población resistente con el presente y orgullosa de un pasado difícil. Ellos cuentan sus luchas y sueños mostrando así los retazos de un futuro imprevisible en una crónica periodística desde el terreno que viaja por las costuras de Bangladesh.

The Economization of Life
What is a life worth? In the wake of eugenics, new quantitative racist practices that valued life for the sake of economic futures flourished. In The Economization of Life, M. Murphy provocatively describes the twentieth-century rise of infrastructures of calculation and experiment aimed at governing population for the sake of national economy, pinpointing the spread of a potent biopolitical logic: some must not be born so that others might live more prosperously. Resituating the history of postcolonial neoliberal technique in expert circuits between the United States and Bangladesh, Murphy traces the methods and imaginaries through which family planning calculated lives not worth living, lives not worth saving, and lives not worth being born. The resulting archive of thick data transmuted into financialized “Invest in a Girl” campaigns that reframed survival as a question of human capital. The book challenges readers to reject the economy as our collective container and to refuse population as a term of reproductive justice.
