Book Description
In Reproductive Justice, sociologist Barbara Gurr provides the first book examining Native American women's reproductive healthcare. Drawing on interviews and focus group data, archival research, and discussions with healthcare professionals, Gurr paints an insightful portrait of the Indian Health Service (IHS)--the federal agency tasked with providing healthcare to Native Americans--shedding much-needed light on Native American efforts to obtain prenatal care, childbirth care, access to contraception and abortion services.
