<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><i><font color="#4F4F4F">This
book is a must read for all those who are concerned about the lives
of poor women. This remarkable collection of essays shows us, through
case studies from across the world, how the Cairo Conference's call
for reproductive rights have been subverted by neo-liberal economic
policies to promote fertility control at the cost of women's health.</font></i></font></p>

<p align="left"><i><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#4F4F4F">In
the current climate when overpopulation arguments are again prominent,
this book is essential reading for health and women's rights activists
and indeed policy-makers. It explores how the promises of reproductive
health and rights at the ICPD in Cairo in 1994 were hollowed out by
neo-liberalism. Both market fundamentalism and religious fundamentalism
took their toll.</font></i></p>

and Malthus: Population, Gender, and Health in Neo-liberal Times</b>
explores the ideas and institutions that were framed at the 1994 United
Nations population conference in Cairo and traces their trajectories
sixteen years down the line. Why were Third World feminists profoundly
critical of the Cairo consensus and process? How has the health of
people around the world been affected by neo-liberal economic policies?
What have these meant for women's rights, including reproductive rights?</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The
book presents detailed case studies from various countries ranging
from India and China, to Egypt, Tanzania, Uganda and across Africa
to Argentina, Peru and throughout Latin America, as well as overarching
themed essays. From the politics of abortion and immigration to rising
levels of fundamentalist violence and sex selective abortions, the
volume explores a range of issues from several vantage points. It
offers startling new insights into these issues by linking them to
neo-liberal economic policies that have profoundly shaped health policies
globally. This book is essential reading for students of gender studies,
public health and demography, as well as policy-makers and activists.</font><br>
