INCONCEIVABLE IRAN

To Reproduce or Not to Reproduce?

 

Soraya Tremayne (Co-Founding Director of the Fertility and Reproduction Studies Group; Research Affiliate at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Oxford)

joined by the other two general editors of the series

Marcia C. Inhorn (William K. Lanman, Jr. Professor of Anthropology and International Affairs, Yale University)
Philip Kreager (Director, Fertility and Reproduction Studies Group, and Research Affiliate, Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology and Institute of Human Sciences, University of Oxford)

Celebrating the 50th volume of the landmark Fertility, Reproduction and Sexuality series (Berghahn Books), this book offers a much-needed analysis of shifting reproductive policies and practices in the Islamic Republic of Iran, a society that is usually represented as either “revolutionary” or “oppressive.” Instead, Tremayne reflects on more than four decades of research arguing that changing reproductive behaviors on the part of ordinary Iranians must always be viewed against the backdrop of core cultural values and traditions, which are often reinforced, instead of radically altered, by new reproductive technologies, juridical opinions, and state policies.
