at www.luminosoa.org. Documenting Death is a gripping ethnographic
account of the deaths of pregnant women in a hospital in a
low-resource setting in Tanzania. Through an exploration of
everyday ethics and care practices on a local maternity ward,
anthropologist Adrienne E. Strong untangles the reasons Tanzania
has achieved so little sustainable success in reducing maternal
mortality rates, despite global development support. Growing
administrative pressures to document good care serve to preclude
good care in practice while placing frontline healthcare workers in
moral and ethical peril. Maternal health emergencies expose the
precarity of hospital social relations and accountability systems,
which, together, continue to lead to the deaths of pregnant women.
