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