"population" was developed and modified over the course of
the twentieth century, mirroring the political, social,
and cultural situations and aspirations of different
societies. This growing field adapted itself to specific
policy concerns and was therefore never apolitical,
despite the protestations of practitioners that demography
was "natural." Demographics were transformed into public
policies that shaped family planning, population growth,
medical practice, and environmental conservation. While
covering a variety of regions and time periods, the essays
in this book share an interest in the transnational
dynamics of emerging demographic discourses and practices.
Together, they present a global picture of the history of
demographic knowledge.
