    Due to fear-fueled news reports and public perceptions about the changing composition of the nation's racial and ethnic makeup--the so-called Latinization of America--the reproduction of Mexican immigrant women has become a central theme in contemporary U. In this exploration, Elena R. Gutierrez considers these public stereotypes of Mexican American and Mexican immigrant women as "hyper-fertile baby machines" who "breed like rabbits.

    Using the coercive sterilization of Mexican-origin women in Los Angeles as a case study, Gutierrez opens a dialogue on the racial politics of reproduction, and how they have developed for women of Mexican origin in the United States. She illustrates how the ways we talk and think about reproduction are part of a system of racial domination that shapes social policy and affects individual women's lives.

The articles draw from themes of race, reproduction, and power. Chavez shows how social and racial stereotypes about Latina reproduction are politically manipulated to reinforce conservative and xenophobic immigration policies.

    They both expose how this discursive framing of Latina reproduction facilitates the forced sterilization of women from Mexican-origin and Puerto Rican women. At stake in the scholarship on Latina reproduction are issues of immigration, population control, citizenship, and human rights.

    An Ethnography of Pregnancy as a Site of Racialization. University of California Press, Bridges focuses on the politics of reproduction for women of color in the United States. She argues that moral judgment is a form of discipline to coerce poor women of color into receiving prenatal care.
