  Demonstrating the historical circumstances that linked agrarianism, racism, and pronatalism, this work shows how reproductive conformity was manufactured, how it was promoted, and why it was coercive. Contributing to scholarship in American history, gender studies, and rural studies, it sheds light on the rhetoric of family values.
