"This project aims to raise a series of issues and concerns regarding contemporary heath politics in the national U.S. context. Focusing on welfare and family planning policies Panu critically addresses the discursive effects of such policies, particularly in relation to contemporary formations of race, gender and class . . .This is a timely project which could find a wide audience in the social sciences, particularly in the disciplines of political science, sociology, social policy, public health, as well as the interdisciplinary fields of cultural studies and women and gender studies. The book provides an important historical account of contemporary health policy in the U.S. and should therefore remain a significant text." - Nicole Vitellone, Lecturer in Sociology, University of Liverpool
