Colonialism, Catholicism and Contraception: A History of Birth Control in Puerto Rico - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The authors analyze the tortuous course that Puerto Rico has followed in evolving a population policy, highlighting the island's rapic economic growth, its role as a laboratory for testing different methods of birth control, and the inevitable conflicts between church and state. The strands of colonialism, catholicism, and contraception are woven into a background of profound social change, characterized by shifting values, industrialization, mass emigration, and technical innovation.

Shipped with care. --- A history of the birth control movement in Puerto Rico, co-written by Annette B. Ramirez de Arellano and Conrad Seipp. The study traces the island's development of population policy across the twentieth century, considering its position as both a Latin country and a Commonwealth of the United States, and examining its use as a testing ground for successive contraceptive methods alongside the conflicts these programmes provoked between church and state. The narrative situates clinical and political developments within a wider context of industrialisation, mass emigration to the mainland, and shifting social values. Reviewed in the Hispanic American Historical Review in 1984 as the most comprehensive history to date of the birth control movement in Puerto Rico. The volume includes tables, notes, and an index.
