There will also be chapters on the Evolution of Birth, on Women’s Birth Narratives, and on Child Spacing and Breastfeeding. One chapter of the book will be devoted to midwives and other birth attendants. Who controls the pregnancy and the birth? Is it the hospital, the doctor, or the in-laws, and in which cultures does the mother have the control? These decisions, regarding place of birth, position, who receives the baby and even how the mother may or may not behave during the actual delivery, are all part of the different ways that birth is conducted. We are particularly interested in the notion of power. Labor and birth are biocultural events that are managed in countless ways. We will address multiple rituals and management models surrounding the labor and birth process from communities across the globe.
