About this title

Review

..".this is a much needed, eagerly anticipated and important book for those scholars who work within the broad field of social studies of reproduction, and specifically for those who study assisted reproductive technologies." . Ayo Wahlberg, University of Copenhagen

"Surely, the book will become a 'must' for research on any related field, in university classes at every level of study, as well as a delightful reading for anyone interested in India, childbirth and infertility or the politics of healthcare, to mention but few." . Daphna Birenbaum-Carmeli, University of Haifa

"At once a history, theodicy, and ethnography of procreative technologies in India, Bharadwaj's lyrically written Conceptions provides a much-needed antidote to Western-centric narratives of India's fertility markets. Bharadwaj draws on and develops the concepts of misrecognition and stigma to describe the ways patients and their families and physicians navigate infertility, surrogacy, gamete donation, and adoption in complexly gendered, classed, and generational ways in a country torn between population control and pronatlism in which science and religion are co-conspirators. I thoroughly recommend this fine book." . Charis Thomas, University of California Berkeley"
