Reviews

With rich detail, Others' Milk demonstrates how breastfeeding is a process, an identity, and a performance that is not simply about nourishing children, but one that reveals larger meanings of gender, sexuality, race, inequality--and the limiting ways we imagine bodies can and should be used. --Jennifer Reich author of Fixing Families: Parents, Power, and the Child Welfare System and Calling the Shots: Why P Beautifully written, historically informed, and full of surprising stories about breastfeeding from the margins of mainstream, this book nurtures a more diverse set of breastfeeding practices and a language to speak them. It is a riveting read. --Alison Bartlett author of Breastwork: Rethinking Breastfeeding
