{"product_id":"where-there-is-no-midwife-sarah-pinto-9780857451538","title":"Where There Is No Midwife: Birth and Loss in Rural India","description":"\u003cp\u003e In the Sitapurdistrict of Uttar Pradesh, an agricultural region with high rates of infant mortality, maternal health services are poor while family planning efforts are intensive. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Pinto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0857451537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857451538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"Sarah Pinto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136005427455,"sku":"9780857451538","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7444d20-abb0-496a-82a8-c0cb89257e2c.jpg?v=1726415399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/where-there-is-no-midwife-sarah-pinto-9780857451538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
