Abstract
- "Substantial Relations: Making Global Reproductive Medicine in Postcolonial India" by Sandra Bärnreuther is a book that examines the development of global reproductive medicine in India since the 1960s. The author uses a postcolonial and materialist lens to explore the tangible connections and substances involved in the field of reproductive medicine. The book is organized into three parts, each focusing on different types of substantial relations. Part I discusses the transnational flows of substances in India, while Part II delves into the relational potential of biological substances within clinical practices. The book offers a fresh perspective on the postcolonial history of reproductive medicine and its intersections with inequality. [Extracted from the article]
