Based on the struggle over a Fargo, North Dakota, abortion clinic, Contested Lives explores one of the central social conflicts of our time. Both wide-ranging and rich in detail, it speaks not simply to the abortion issue but also to the critical role of women's political activism. A new introduction addresses the events of the last decade, which saw the emergence of Operation Rescue and a shift toward more violent, even deadly, forms of anti-abortion protest. Responses to this trend included government legislation, a decline in clinics and doctors offering abortion services, and also the formation of Common Ground, an alliance bringing together activists from both sides to address shared concerns. Ginsburg shows that what may have seemed an ephemeral artifact of "Midwestern feminism" of the 1980s actually foreshadowed unprecedented possibilities for reconciliation in one of the most entrenched conflicts of our times.

非常適合美國本科生導論課的書，讓學生體會到人類學除了關注他者，也可以通過獨特的視野和提問方式，幫助人們理解近在身邊的社會議題
评分这书越读越有意思，尤其是中间两个部分，先是用Turner的social drama来解读protesters和defenders的交际，然后用Mannheim的theory of generation以及Turner的liminality来诠释了pro-choicers和pro-lifers双方对于abortion、自身生命以及女性作为一个整体的意义的理解。不知道能不能把这书放进女权这一类别里，因为这的确是讲女性生命的一本书，feminism也有多次提到，但是feminism本身其实也只是被解读的对象之一。

评分It's really important to remember that the "other" side of the debate is made of real human as well. It's not about pro-life or pro-choice, but pro-woman, pro-human. This book explained that really well. Absolutely beautiful ethnography and very refreshing points, especially in this age when people try to shove their agendas inside our vagina.
评分读完的感觉是，在不同的立场和变化的建构里，胎儿永远都是和孕妇对立的
