Full surrogacy now : feminism against family

Lewis, Sophie, author

Overview

\"Giving birth is commonly called labor. What happens if all of human pregnancy and gestation is thought from the labor point of view? If it is all labor, then how can that labor be freed from now global regimes of colonial and commodity exploitation? That's the challenge of Full Surrogacy Now. The new lens on labor it gives us opens up crucial challenges and questions: What are the connections between the bodily labor of gestating and other forms of biological, social, and ecological production and reproduction? How can we politicize (human and nonhuman) work that's treated as natural, taken for granted, and done for free? Why is the impossible concept of \"surrogacy\" crucial to our collective liberation? And what might organizing based on solidarity between the \"shopfloors\" of paid and unpaid babymaking have to do with the often forgotten liberation horizon of family abolition?\" -- provided by publisher
