Description

Explore the complex world of traditional midwifery and female healers in South and Southeast Asia with Daughters of Hariti. This academic work examines the legacy of Hariti, the ancient Indian goddess of childbirth, and traces her influence through the modern-day female healers who serve communities from India to Nepal and Bali. This book provides a deep look into how childbirth practices are changing. It examines the impact of Western biomedical technology and how national and international health policies affect traditional methods. By looking at social and economic shifts, the authors provide context for the current state of maternal and infant health in the region. Readers will gain a better understanding of the challenges faced by these communities, including high rates of maternal and infant mortality. This text is an essential resource for those studying medical anthropology, sociology, and global health, offering a clear perspective on the tension between traditional healing and modern medical systems.
