ReproductionB Bis the most emotionally complicated human activity. It transforms lives but it also creates fears and anxieties about women whose childbearing doesn t conform to the norm._x000D_ IBaby Trouble in the Last Best West Iexplores the ways that women s childbearing became understood as a social problem in early twentieth-century Alberta. Kaler utilizes censuses, newspaper reports, social work case files, and personal letters to illuminate the ordeals that women, men, and babies were subjected to as Albertans debated childbearing. Through the lens of reproduction, Kaler offers a vivid and engaging analysis of how colonialism, racism, nationalism, medicalization, and evolving gender politics contributed to Alberta s imaginative economy of reproduction. Kaler investigates five different episodes of "baby trouble": the emergence of obstetrics as a political issue, the drive for eugenic sterilization, unmarried childbearing and "rescue homes" for unmarried mothers, state-sponsored allowances for single mothers, and high infant mortality. IBaby Trouble in the Last Best West Iwill transport the reader to the turmoil of Alberta s early years while examining the complexity of settler society-building and gender struggles.
