ITEM OVERVIEW
Aggressive law enforcement, welfare reform, and draconian immigration and population policies have made one of the most fundamental reproductive rights—the right to have a child and raise a family—a battleground for women of color and poor women. This new anthology places issues of race, class, and gender at the center of the reproductive rights and social justice agenda. In the wake of 9/11, as aggressive law enforcement has escalated, this important collection provides ammunition to combat the erosion of civil liberties. With an afterword by Angela Y. Davis. "A powerful collection of writing on race, justice, and gender. This is a must-read for feminists, women of color, and those who believe in social justice." —Winona LaDuke
