Description:While the process of childbirth is, in some sense, everywhere the same, it is also everywhere different in that each culture has produced a birthing system that is strikingly dissimilar from the others.

Illustrated with useful examples and lively anecdotes from Jordan's own fieldwork, the Fourth Edition of this innovative comparative ethnography brings the reader to a deeper understanding of childbirth as a culturally grounded, biosocially mediated, and interactionally achieved event.The revised and greatly expanded edition of this award-winning book includes updated material and features three new chapters that represent the author's most recent work, probing even more fully the issues surrounding the anthropology of birth.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
