Description

Explore the history of childbirth and medical practices in colonial India with Colonial Modernities: Midwifery in Bengal, c.1860-1947. Published by Routledge as part of The Social History of Health and Medicine in South Asia series, this book examines how colonial modernities affected midwifery practices. It analyzes the medicalization of childbirth through three primary lenses: the efforts to reform and sanitize birthing sites, the establishment of lying-in hospitals, and the movement to replace traditional birth attendants with trained midwives and qualified female doctors. Using Eastern India as a primary case study alongside related research from other regions, this text provides a detailed look at the changing landscape of maternal healthcare during this period. It is an essential resource for those studying the social history of health and medicine in South Asia.
