One more very good book that relates to populations
issues and especially reproductive rights is:
"Death Without Weeping - the violence of everyday life
in Brazil." It is a big book, but written in a very
engaging narrative by Nancy Scheper-Hughes, an
anthropologist who lived with women coping with
extreme poverty (and constant death of their children/ lack
of medical services, family planning/ etc) in Brazil.
I think this book is also very important to bring to light the
fact that for a great number of poor people to have more children
signifies a greater chance of survival for the family as a whole,
and population policies that do not take this into control
can cause havoc in their lives.

puissant, prendre un patron, et, comme un lierre obscur que circonvient
un tronc et s'en fait un tuteur en lui lechant l'ecorce, grimper par
ruse au lieu de s'elever par force? Non, merci! Non, merci! Non, merci!
