Candace Johnson

Maternal Transition (eBook, ePUB)

A North-South Politics of Pregnancy and Childbirth

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What are the political dimensions that are revealed in women's preferences for health care during pregnancy and childbirth? The answers to this question vary from one community to the next, and often from woman to the next, although the trends in the Global North and South are strikingly different. Employing three conceptual frames; medicalization, the public-private distinction, and intersectionality, Candace Johnson examines these differences through the narratives of women in Canada, the United States, Cuba, and Honduras.
