Daisy Deomampo is Associate Professor of Anthropology, Fordham University. She is the author of Transnational Reproduction: Race, Kinship, and Commercial Surrogacy in India.

"Accessibly written, it could be taught in undergraduate courses or modules on transnational surrogacy or assisted reproduction and social/economic inequality at lower and upper levels. The book promises to be an important resource for scholars of global markets in reproductive services." (Medical Anthropology Quarterly) "Building upon the classic feminist concept of stratified reproduction, Deomampo is the first to offer a powerful critique of the racialization inherent in transnational surrogacy practices. Combining detailed ethnography with critical medical anthropological perspectives, Transnational Reproduction is both hard-hitting and provocative, challenging the race, class, and gender inequities underlying Indias commercial gestational surrogacy scene.-" - Marcia C. Inhorn,author of Cosmopolitan Conceptions: IVF Sojourns in Global Dubai "Deomampo shows in exquisite detail how racialized fantasies, stereotypes, and prejudices knot together the long-distance, cross-border threads of intimate commerce and citizenship involved in Indian surrogacy. European, North American, Australian, and other commissioning parents are connected to their Indian surrogates and entrepreneurial providers through diverse legal and social connections, yet all involve prior powerful notions of race at the heart of transnational family-making. This focus enriches and complicates discussions of Indian surrogacy." - Rayna Rapp,New York University "I highly recommend this book to any person interested in surrogacy, race and kinship in India and beyond." - Noémie Merleau-Ponty,Research Associate, Reproductive Sociology Research Group, University of Cambridge "Daisy Deomampo's ethnography shows how particular imaginations and workings of race undergird the political economy of commercial surrogacy. Her book brings together previous work on 'stratified reproduction' – which describes the differential conditions that made reproduction possible – with recent studies on commercial surrogacy."
