Focusing on the intersection of identity and governmental policy, the book critically examines how family planning strategies shape societal norms by defining certain identities as "other." Panu highlights the implications of these discriminatory practices, particularly regarding marginalized groups such as the poor, racialized, and gendered individuals. By analyzing U.S. reproductive politics within the context of welfare policies, the author argues that neo-liberal governance perpetuates systems of domination and inequality through its "othering" mechanisms.
