Running the Obstacle Course to Sexual and Reproductive Health: Lessons from Latin America. 

Picture
These four multi-disciplinary studies focus on sexual and reproductive health advocacy and programs in Latin America. Based on original research and the author's 25 years of experience working in the region, the text illuminates the political, cultural, and organizational dynamics that pose an obstacle course to sexual and reproductive health—dynamics that veterans of the culture wars in many other regions of the world will recognize.

"This book should be obligatory reading for anyone who wishes to understand reproductive health and rights in Latin America and the role of organizations seeking to move the Cairo agenda forward."--Studies in Family Planning

"The author is to be commended for conducting such a thorough analysis of the mechanisms at play when individuals, organizations, and government agencies implement and evaluate health-promotion programming."—American Journal of Evaluation
