Transnational Reproduction traces the relationships among Western aspiring parents, Indian surrogates, and egg donors from around the world. In the early 2010s India was one of the top providers of surrogacy services in the world. Drawing on interviews with commissioning parents, surrogates, and egg donors as well as doctors and family members, Daisy Deomampo argues that while the surrogacy industry in India offers a clear example of “stratified reproduction”—the ways in which political, economic, and social forces structure the conditions under which women carry out physical and social reproductive labor—it also complicates that concept as the various actors in this reproductive work struggle to understand their relationships to one another. The book shows how these actors make sense of their connections, illuminating the ways in which kinship ties are challenged, transformed, or reinforced in the context of transnational gestational surrogacy. The volume revisits the concept of stratified reproduction in ways that offer a more robust and nuanced understanding of race and power as ideas about kinship intersect with structures of inequality. It demonstrates that while reproductive actors share a common quest for conception, they make sense of family in the context of globalized assisted reproductive technologies in very different ways. In doing so, Deomampo uncovers the specific racial reproductive imaginaries that underpin the unequal relations at the heart of transnational surrogacy.

"Contre la gestation pour autrui pourrait être le sous-titre de cet ouvrage qui prend position contre une pratique sociale trop souvent justifiée au nom du désir d'enfant. Au cours du demi-siècle écoulé, de prodigieux progrès biologiques ont permis de mettre au monde des enfants qui viennent combler un désir au demeurant légitime de paternité et de maternité, mais ils ont engendré de nombreuses dérives dont celle qu'on désigne par le sigle GPA. Au nom de la primauté du droit subjectif, de puissants lobbies se font entendre pour que la France lève l'interdiction de cette pratique. Cet ouvrage révèle l'envers de l'image du couple souriant tenant son bébé dans les bras. Il expose l'histoire de la pratique et les risques de toute nature que courent les femmes contraintes par leur situation familiale et financière d'abandonner un enfant qui est pourtant le leur. Cette violence inouïe à leur égard, comme à celui des enfants, est ici explorée dans ses multiples dimensions sociale, médicale, juridique, philosophique, psychologique. Tel est le propos de cet ouvrage engagé pour le respect des femmes prises dans les filets des marchés de la maternité."
