Maps, xv + 295pp, cover edge and spine lightly sunned, still a very good paperback copy. "Even childbirth is affected by globalization-and in India, as elsewhere, the trend is away from home births, assisted by midwives, toward hospital births with increasing reliance on new technologies. And yet, as this work of critical feminist ethnography clearly demonstrates, the global spread of biomedical models of childbirth has not brought forth one monolithic form of "modern birth." Focusing on the birth experiences of lower-class women in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Birth on the Threshold reveals the complex and unique ways in which modernity emerges in local contexts. Through vivid description and animated dialogue, this book conveys the birth stories of the women of Tamil Nadu in their own voices, emphasizing their critiques of and aspirations for modern births today. In light of these stories, author Cecilia Van Hollen explores larger questions about how the structures of colonialism and postcolonial international and national development have helped to shape the form and meaning of birth for Indian women today. Ultimately, her book poses the question: How is gender-especially maternity-reconfigured as birth is transformed?" (Publisher's description.).

Summary:Birth in the Age of AIDS is a vivid and poignant portrayal of the experiences of HIV-positive women in India during pregnancy, birth, and motherhood at the beginning of the 21st century. The government of India, together with global health organizations, established an important public health initiative to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child. While this program, which targets poor women attending public maternity hospitals, has improved health outcomes for infants, it has resulted in sometimes devastatingly negative consequences for poor, young mothers.

Biomedicine and Bodies. 7. Sorcery and Religion. Conclusion. Notes. Bibliography. Index As the news spread that more women died from breast and cervical cancer in India than anywhere else in the world in the early 21st century, global public health planners accelerated efforts to prevent, screen, and treat these reproductive cancers in low-income Indian communities. Cancer and the Kali Yuga reveals that the women who are the targets of these interventions in Tamil Nadu, South India, have their own views on cancer causality, late diagnosis, and challenges to accessing treatment that differ from the public health discourse. Contrary to public health campaigns that link reproductive cancer risk to individual choices associated with sexual and reproductive practices, diet, and exercise, lower-income Tamil women attribute their risk of cancer to economic, environmental, and social factors beyond their control, which render poor women's bodies vulnerable to these cancers. While doctors berate them for being irresponsible and coming to the hospital too late, or for irrational fears and harmful superstitious beliefs, women cancer patients say their socioeconomic position constrains their search for cancer treatment and respectful care. Cecilia Van Hollen's critical feminist ethnography centers and amplifies the voices of Dalit Tamil women who situate cancer within the nexus of their class, caste, and gender positions. Dalit women's narratives about their experiences with cancer present a powerful and poignant critique of the sociocultural and political-economic conditions that marginalize them and jeopardize their health and well-being in 21st-century India. This book will be valuable to scholars of Anthropology, Sociology, Gender Studies and Dalit Studies. It will also interest scholars, policy-makers and practitioners of Global and Public Health.
