negotiate their own self-conceptions centering racial or ethnic identity, particularly when we have the data showing that majority of commissioning parents seek Indian egg donors. This is not to say that Deomampo does not bring to our attention that surrogates and egg donors struggle and find ways to attain value and recognition for the labor they produce, in spite of being exposed to demeaning racialization by upper-class medical doctors, and stigmatization of extended community and family members who generally disapprove of such work. But given the fact that racial imaginary is a dominant framework, we don’t get to know much about how surrogacy experiences stretch the women’s own self-conceptions of belonging to a certain class and caste group. Nevertheless, Deomampo does a brilliant job of giving a comprehensive account of the way racial reproductive imaginaries marginalize the experiences of women who do the labor in the global surrogacy markets. This is both a theoretically engaged and ethnographically rich book that brings much needed focus on the human and social institutions that underlie the surrogacy markets. One of the lasting impacts of the book will be for us to see that colonial and contemporary legacies of racial distinctions end up dwarfing and diminishing the transformative potentials of reimagining group affiliations and identities that assisted reproductive technology has granted to us.

书评：21 世纪社会运动动员浪潮，Nahide Konak 和 Rasim Özgür Dönmez

协商他们自己的以种族或民族身份为中心的自我概念，特别是当我们有数据显示大多数委托父母寻求印度卵子捐赠者时。这并不是说 Deomampo 没有让我们注意到代孕者和卵子捐赠者努力寻找方法来为他们生产的劳动获得价值和认可，尽管他们面临着上流医生的种族歧视和污名化大社区和家庭成员普遍不赞成这种工作。但鉴于种族想象是一个占主导地位的框架，我们对代孕经历如何扩展女性自己属于某个阶级和种姓群体的自我概念知之甚少。尽管如此，Deomampo 做了一项出色的工作，全面说明了种族生殖想象如何边缘化在全球代孕市场上从事劳动的女性的经验。这本书既有理论性又有丰富的民族志，对代孕市场背后的人类和社会制度提出了急需的关注。这本书的持久影响之一将是让我们看到，种族差异的殖民和当代遗产最终使辅助生殖技术赋予我们的重新构想群体归属和身份的变革潜力相形见绌并削弱。这本书既有理论性又有丰富的民族志，对代孕市场背后的人类和社会制度提出了急需的关注。这本书的持久影响之一是让我们看到，种族差异的殖民和当代遗产最终使辅助生殖技术赋予我们的重新构想群体归属和身份的变革潜力相形见绌并削弱。这本书既有理论性又有丰富的民族志，对代孕市场背后的人类和社会制度提出了急需的关注。这本书的持久影响之一是让我们看到，种族差异的殖民和当代遗产最终使辅助生殖技术赋予我们的重新构想群体归属和身份的变革潜力相形见绌并削弱。
