"A beautiful, moving book about the way in which poor young pregnant women are positioned as objects of shaming and pathologising practices. Pregnant Bodies, Fertile Minds is a searing indictment of current social policies." -- Valerie Walkerdine, author of Growing Up Girl: Psychosocial Explorations of Gender and Class
"A breakthrough book...[A] rich ethnographic study...Theoretically sophisticated and beautifully written, this study uses original and innovative methodology to raise and reflect upon issues of gender, race, culture and the institutional structure of schools." -- Kathleen Weiler, editor of Feminist Engagements: Reading, Resisting, and Revisioning Male Theorists in Education and Cultural Studies (Routledge)
"An extraordinary and moving book and a theoretical and ethnographic stunner. It is hard to imagine that anyone other than her subjects themselves could portray their voices and selves with such compelling immediacy and liveliness better than Luttrell. A brilliant contribution to our greater knowledge of the worlds of gender, motherhood, race, and adolescence." -- Nancy Chodorow, author of The Power of Feelings: Personal Meaning in Psychoanalysis, Gender, and Culture
"The triumph of Pregnant Bodies, Fertile Minds is that it manages to weave the social worlds of girls, the social stigma of pregnancy, and the social policies that swaddle these young women in and out of school into a compassionate and haunting ethnography." -- Carol Stack, author of All Our Kin
"Luttrell's work...connects the reader to prominent literacy and academic pieces on teenage pregnancy, race and poverty...Luttrell's writing style is casual yet well researched. Her references span sociology, feminist/psychoanalytic theory, and developmental psychology. The range of her citations is impressive and this synthesis of fields broadens the appeal of the book to several academic disciplines." -- Contemporary Sociology, Wendy Luttrell
