Description

Explore the history of medicalization and childbirth 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 work examines the shifts in birthing practices during this era. The book investigates how colonial authorities attempted to reform and sanitize birthing sites through the establishment of lying-in hospitals. It analyzes the transition from traditional birth attendants to trained midwives and qualified female doctors. Using eastern India as a primary case study alongside research from other regions, this text provides empirical data regarding the interactions between midwifery practices and colonial modernities. It is an essential resource for those studying the social history of medicine and health in South Asia.
