By following the daily lives of women in this setting, the author considers the women’s own experiences of birth and infant death, their ways of making-do, and the hierarchies they create and contend with. This book develops an approach to the care that focuses on emotion, domestic spaces, illicit and extra-institutional biomedicine, and household and neighborly relations that these women are able to access. It shows that, as part of the concatenation of affect and access, globalized moralities about reproduction are dependent on ambiguous ideas about caste. Through the unfolding of birth and death, a new vision of "untouchability" emerges that is integral to visions of progress.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 463gAuthor: Sarah PintoGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, MedicineBook Series: Fertility, Reproduction and Sexuality: Social and Cultural PerspectivesRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
