Focussing ethnographically on private-sector maternity care in
South Africa, Privileges of Birth looks at the ways healthcare and
childbirth are shaped by South Africa's racialised history. Birth
is one of the most medicalised aspects of the lifecycle across all
sectors of society, and there is deep division between what the
privileged can afford compared with the rest of the population.
Examining the ethics of care in midwife-attended birth, the author
situates the argument in the context of a growing literature on
care in anthropological and feminist scholarship, offering a unique
account of birthing care in the context of elite care services.
