As the human population continues to expand and environmental concerns multiply, natural scientists, economists, and policymakers are increasingly delving into new and ancient inquiries about families and kinship. From government initiatives aimed at combating declining birth rates in Europe and East Asia to contentious policies seeking to curb population growth in regions where birth rates remain high, to growing income inequality across borders, issues of reproduction introduce novel and intricate moral and political dilemmas.

"Making Kin Not Population" breaks the silence on these matters by presenting essays from renowned anti-racist, ecologically-minded, feminist scholars. While their perspectives may diverge, these contributors offer bold analyses of complex issues of intimacy and kinship, ranging from reproductive justice to environmental justice, and from human and nonhuman genocides to new practices for creating families and kin. This timely work presents essential proposals for forging innovative personal and public connections in the contemporary world.
