Description

This groundbreaking ethnography offers the first major study of Baloch midwives in Pakistan, drawing on extensive long-term fieldwork in Balochistan province. The book examines how dh nabogs and dheenabogs-Baloch midwives aged 30 to 80-practise dh nabogir (midwifery) to support women through labour and postpartum recovery. Through detailed ethnographic analysis, the author reveals how Baloch midwives' distinctive forms and ethics of care have endured despite nearly two centuries of British colonial policies and subsequent official disparagement of South Asian Indigenous midwives. This volume challenges prevailing global perceptions of midwifery in the region, documenting the resilience and knowledge systems of these practitioners whilst contextualising their work within postcolonial realities. Published by Routledge as part of the Social Science Perspectives on Childbirth and Reproduction series, it contributes significantly to anthropological understanding of reproductive health, Indigenous medical practices, and women's agency in Pakistan.
