Queering Reproduction

""Queering Reproduction" is the most comprehensive and theoretically rich account of lesbians' reproductive practices to date. Laura Mamo shows how social movements, emotions, consumerism, and biomedical technologies collide with the search for belonging to produce brave new families. She documents how sex without reproduction and reproduction without sex lead to myriad unintended consequences that both queer and normalize. A terrific book."--Arlene Stein, author of "Shameless: Sexual Dissidence in American Culture"

Laura Mamo is an assistant professor of sociology and an affiliate assistant professor of women's studies and lesbian and gay studies at the University of Maryland.
