{"product_id":"9781474433303","title":"The Reproductive Politics of American Literature and Film, 1959-1973 by Sophie A. Jones","description":"In the long 1960s, struggles for the rights to abortion, contraception  and reproduction itself gathered momentum. This book explores  reproduction in American literature and film produced between the late  1950s and the early 1970s, and argues that writers and filmmakers of  this period engaged with the social horizons of pregnancy by reflecting  on their own creative practices. In an era that witnessed a renewed  emphasis on planned pregnancy and population control, authors and  filmmakers were often preoccupied with the ways reproduction - both  cultural and biological - might escape the drive to predict and plan.  Tracing this preoccupation in key works of drama, film, poetry and  prose, Sophie A. Jones argues that these works mobilise the concept of  contingency to address the relationships of race, disability and  reproductive freedom. Offering fresh perspectives on canonical and  lesser-known works, the book makes a case for the central role of  culture in forging new approaches to reproductive justice.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368896737653,"sku":"9781474433303","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781474433303.jpg?v=1764602385","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781474433303","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
