This anthology assembles two decades of work initiated by SisterSong Women of Color Health Collective, creators of the human rightsbased reproductive justice framework to move beyond polarized pro-choice/pro-life debates. Rooted in Black feminism and built on intersecting identities, this revolutionary framework asserts a womans right to have children, to not have children, and to parent and provide for the children they have.
This crucial expansion on social justice discourse explores practical applications for activist thought migrating from the community into the academy.
