Description: Conceiving Cuba by Elise Andaya Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Offers an intimate look at how, with Cubas political and economic future in question, reproduction has become the subject of heated public debates and agonising private decisions. Drawing from first-hand observations and interviews, Elise Andaya takes us inside Cubas households and medical systems. Along the way, she introduces us to the women who wrestle with the difficult question of whether they can afford a child, and the doctors who struggle to balance the needs of their patients with the mandates of the state. Publisher Description Received an Honorable Mention for the 2015 First Michelle Rosaldo Prize for a First Book in Feminist Anthropology from the Association for Feminist AnthropologyWinner of the Adele E. Clarke Book Award from ReproNetwork? After Cubas 1959 revolution, the Castro government sought to instill a new social order. Hoping to achieve a new and egalitarian society, the state invested in policies designed to promote the well-being of women and children. Yet once the Soviet Union fell and Cubas economic troubles worsened, these programs began to collapse, with serious results for Cuban families.Conceiving Cuba offers an intimate look at how, with the islands political and economic future in question, reproduction has become the subject of heated public debates and agonizing private decisions. Drawing from several years of first-hand observations and interviews, anthropologist Elise Andaya takes us inside Cubas households and medical systems. Along the way, she introduces us to the women who wrestle with the difficult question of whether they can afford a child, as well as the doctors who, with only meager resources at their disposal, struggle to balance the needs of their patients with the mandates of the state. Andayas groundbreaking research considers not only how socialist policies have profoundly affected the ways Cuban families imagine the future, but also how the current crisis in reproduction has deeply influenced ordinary Cubans views on socialism and the future of the revolution. Casting a sympathetic eye upon a troubled state, Conceiving Cuba gives new life to the notion that the personal is always political. Author Biography ELISE ANDAYA is an assistant professor of anthropology at the University at Albany, State University of New York. Her work has been published in numerous essay collections and journals, including Medical Anthropology Quarterly and Feminist Studies.
