| Abstract | "This book examines what I call "infertile sexuality"-that is to say, sexual practices and conditions that do not result in procreation. The dominant sexual moral code in much of Africa, particularly evident in Niger, stipulates that married life must lead to the creation of an abundant lineage. Generally among urban residents and settled agro-pastoralists, infertility, contraception, abortion, and infanticide are all deemed deviant and contrary to mainstream norms and practices"-- Provided by publisher. |
