Shipped with care. --- A history of the birth control movement in Puerto Rico by Annette B. Ramirez de Arellano, tracing population policy on the island through the twentieth century. The book begins with the American officials posted to the island after 1899, who were convinced that overpopulation lay at the root of its problems. Much of the narrative concerns relations between the island and the mainland, and how political, medical, religious, industrial and philanthropic interests shaped laws and programs. It shows that early support for contraception rested largely on fears that population growth would hold back economic development, a concern that also led officials to promote mass emigration. Some advocates also drew on eugenic arguments. The book covers the 1937 legislation that legalized the spread of contraceptive information, opened public health clinics to birth control services, and allowed sterilization. It also follows the island's use as a testing ground for contraceptive methods, including the oral pill trials, and the place of sterilization in Puerto Rican practice. The opposition of the Catholic Church runs throughout, along with the caution of politicians who supported birth control in private but would not say so in public.
