Reviews
"In Making Gaybies Jaya Keaney offers an empirically and conceptually rich account of racialization in contemporary queer family making. Through insightful exploration of how lesbian and gay couples navigate choice and constraint in their paths to parenthood in contemporary multicultural Australia, Making Gaybies makes vital contributions to transnational scholarly conversations in feminist science studies, queer studies, and critical race studies. A highly engaging book written with great candor and care, it deserves a wide readership." -- Anne Pollock, author of * Sickening: Anti-Black Racism and Health Disparities in the United States *
"This astonishing book brilliantly reconfigures how we understand race, reproduction, and desire by investigating queer kinship as a terrain of feeling and the intimate bonds forged in the name of family as a site of radical transformation. Jaya Keaney's book is an instant classic-as beautifully written as it is forcefully and sensitively argued." -- Sarah Franklin, author of * Embodied Progress: A Cultural Account of Assisted Conception *
