Book SynopsisWith reproductive medical technologies becoming more accessible, assisted donor conception is raising new and important questions about family life. Using in-depth interviews the authors explore the lived reality of donor conception and offer insights into the complexities of these new family relationships.Trade Review"This book isn't a dry academic tome ... it is accessible and can be read by anyone with an interest in donor conception. I would strongly recommend it to parents of donor-conceived children to whom it could be enormously reassuring." - Sarah Norcross, BioNews "The insights gained in the in-depth interviews with members of lesbian and heterosexual couple families who have used donor conception are beyond anything I have ever come across before, and should be enormously helpful in re-assessing both the policy and practice of the range of support that needs to be in place at every stage of the donor conception family journey." - Olivia's View blog "The book is very interesting and a good illustration of some of some of the changes, dynamics and fluidities of family life." - Network: Magazine of the British Sociological Association "Intelligent and informed reflection on how the interviewees themselves have come to work on the relevant issues, how their own uses of metaphors relating to genes and the contribution of donor gametes have been shaped by their experiences, and how this work reflects on family life and kinship more widely." - Journal of Social Policy 'It is not often that an academic book can be described as truly delightful, but, in the case of Relative Strangers such a description is certainly appropriate.'

Book SynopsisThe contributors respond to the absence of critical debate surrounding the ways in which spaces of the city do not merely contain, but also constitute, urban poverty. The volume explores how the spaces of the city actively produce and reproduce urban poverty.Trade Review“Edited by Charlotte Lemanski and Colin Marx, this book thus highlights the dynamics of space and its interaction with processes of exploitation. It also addresses what are currently implicit spatial aspects of urban poverty. … By promoting the spatial analytical framework that lies at the core of understanding urban poverty, this book calls for ‘a new spatial politics of urban poverty’ and offers a broader range of strategies for poverty reduction available to scholars and policy makers alike … .” (Hannah Keren Lee, E&U, environmentandurbanization.org, March, 2016)Table of ContentsForeword; Jennifer Robinson Preface; Charlotte Lemanski and Colin Marx Introduction; Charlotte Lemanski and Colin Marx 1.
