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 \u003ci\u003ewhy\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robbie Davis-Floyd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367431297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367431297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.90d","brand":"Robbie Davis-Floyd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057129779455,"sku":"9780367431297","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8ee3fb2-259f-40fb-a2cc-a90efa4987fe.jpg?v=1685045204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birth-as-an-american-rite-robbie-davis-floyd-9780367431297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
