As Carole Browner explains in her foreword: ""These chapters
compellingly reveal that although we anthropologists tend to speak
of biomedicine in hegemonic terms, in fact its penetration is quite
variable and often ambivalently met. . . . Risk, Reproduction, and
Narratives of Experience sheds new light on a troubling core aspect
of medicalisation processes, which simultaneously render pregnant
women more docile subjects even as they are impelled to actively
engage with biomedicalised prenatal care regimes. . . . We also see
that a consummate means by which states seek to consolidate power
in the reproductive realm is through expansion of the biomedical
concept of risk. This critical observation emerges repeatedly in
this collection.""
