In the blog she recently published on Black Perspectives, Nicole Bourbonnais retraces the struggle for reproductive rights in the decolonizing Caribbean, from the birth control measures that the British coloniser tried to impose in the 1930s in order to stop the growth of the population to women's struggles to have the choice to have children or not.

Nicole Bourbonnais recently published Birth Control in the Decolonizing Caribbean. Reproductive Politics and Practice on Four Islands, 1930-1970 and will tell more about her book during her upcoming book launch.

Her research focuses on on reproductive rights and transnational activism in the twentieth century and she also wrote about Abortion under Apartheid and A Global History of Birth Control (in French).
