All cultures are concerned with the business of childbirth, so much
so that it can never be described as a purely physiological or even
psychological event. This volume draws together work from a range
of anthropologists and midwives who have found anthropological
approaches useful in their work. Using case studies from a variety
of cultural settings, the writers explore the centrality of the way
time is conceptualized, marked and measured to the ways of
perceiving and managing childbirth: how women, midwives and other
birth attendants are affected by issues of power and control, but
also actively attempt to change established forms of thinking and
practice. The stories are engaging as well as critical and invite
the reader to think afresh about time, and about reproduction.
