It also traces the transformation of childbirth in these cultures under the impact of Western biomedical technology, national and international health policies and the wider factors of social and economic change. The authors ask what can be done to improve the high rates of maternal and infant deaths and illnesses still associated with childbirth in most societies in this area and whether the wholesale replacement of indigenous knowledge by Western biomedical technology is necessarily a good thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Santi Rozario\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415277922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415277921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.68h x 6.14w x 0.77d","brand":"Santi Rozario","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136064368895,"sku":"9780415277921","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2678388-d34a-4de3-b757-3b4085bc2cab.jpg?v=1770160275","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/daughters-of-hariti-santi-rozario-9780415277921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
