520 1  "Next to global warming, the most urgent international 
       issue facing governments in the twenty-first century is 
       likely to be the all-time low birth rates around the world,
       what pundits Ben Wattenberg and Philip Longman call the 
       "birth dearth" and the "empty cradle," respectively." "Now,
       for the first time, historian Ian Dowbiggin explains that 
       a major cause of the birth dearth was the propagandistic 
       efforts of a handful of men and women, including Margaret 
       Sanger, Alan Guttmacher, and Paul Ehrlich, who in the 
       course of the twentieth century convinced policy makers 
       and the public that sterilization was the best means of 
       population control. Drawing on archival records, some 
       rarely seen before, Dowbiggin charts the rise of the 
       sterilization movement from its modest origins immediately
       following World War II to its current status as one of the
       most influential players in the international family-
       planning field. Along the way, he documents how family-
       planning programs based on sterilization targeted poverty-
       stricken areas around the world. The result, Dowbiggin 
       argues, not only penalized the poor and minorities: it 
       also appears to be one of the biggest policy mistakes in 
       modern history. The author ends by shedding light on the 
       practical and ethical difficulties of distinguishing 
       coercion from choice in reproductive-health policy. What 
       does informed consent in birth control really mean on the 
       ground? Whose needs are actually served in attempts to 
       reduce fertility rates? According to Dowbiggin, the 
       twentieth-century birth control movement never entirely 
       shed its eugenic origins."--Jacket.
