Synopsis
Recent years have seen many changes in human reproduction resulting from state and medical interventions in childbearing processes. Based on empirical work in a variety of societies and countries, this volume considers the relationship between reproductive processes (of fertility, pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period) on the one hand and attitudes, medical technologies and state health policies in diverse cultural contexts on the other., Recent years have seen many changes in human reproduction resulting from state and medical interventions in childbearing processes. Based on empirical work in a variety of societies and countries, this volume considers the relationship between reproductive processes (of fertility, pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period) on the one hand and attitudes, medical technologies and state health policies in diverse cultural contexts on the other. Maya Unnithan-Kumar is Senior Lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Sussex. Her research in the early 1990s focused on kinship and gender relations in northwest India and appeared as Identity, Gender and Poverty (Berghahn Books 1997).

    This postcard didn't just arrive exactly as expected, but was even in a little protective sleeve. Shipping was reasonable, the price wasn't wild for a relic like this, and I'm very satisfied with it.

    The worst transaction I’ve had on eBay! Seller sent my items in ziplock bags which then resulted in them being crushed during shipping process, they then instead of blaming the postal service blamed ME and filed a “ fraudulent return “ saying I lied and that my story didn’t “ hold water “ without having any evidence of such when it was obvious the damage was to poor handling and packing but they instead tried holding my funds while also keeping the items I sent back! BUYER BEWARE!!!!

    This was a fraudulent return made by a young man who wanted an after-the fact partial refund - not uncommon. He kicked up lots of drama and played the victim when it didn’t work. Hopefully the content of his character can improve before adulthood.
