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).
