This classic book, first published in 1992 and again in 2003, has
inspired three generations of childbearing people, birth activists
and researchers, and birth practitioners-midwives, doulas, nurses,
and obstetricians-to take a fresh look at the "standard procedures"
that are routinely used to "manage" American childbirth. It was the
first book to identify these non-evidence-based obstetric
interventions as rituals that enact and transmit the core values of
the American technocracy, thereby answering the pressing question
of why these interventions continue to be performed despite all
evidence to the contrary. This third edition brings together
Davis-Floyd's insights into the intense ritualization of labor and
birth and the technocratic, humanistic, and holistic models of
birth with new data collected in recent years.
