520    "Original and compelling, Laura Briggs's Reproducing 
       Empire shows how, for both Puerto Ricans and North 
       Americans, ideologies of sexuality, reproduction, and 
       gender have shaped relations between the island and the 
       mainland. From science to public policy, the "culture of 
       poverty" to overpopulation, feminism to Puerto Rican 
       nationalism, this book uncovers the persistence of 
       concerns about motherhood, prostitution, and family in 
       shaping the beliefs and practices of virtually every 
       player in the twentieth-century drama of Puerto Rican 
       colonialism. In this way, it reveals the legacies haunting
       contemporary debates over globalization."--Page 4 of
