"Sterilization 'camps' have earned a bad press in India - and rightly so. Yet, as Eva Fiks demonstrates in her elegant intervention, coercion is entangled with care for village women contending with the reproductive chronicity that is integral to their daily lives." * Patricia Jeffery, Professor Emerita, University of Edinburgh "The book draws on detailed ethnographic research and is rich with empirical details that are framed within larger debates on women's health, care, and state formation. The introduction immediately draws in the reader. It is a well-written and well-researched book." * Lipika Kamra, Jindal Global University.
