Description

Explore the complex relationship between political power and women's health in this scholarly study. Irene Maffi examines how childbirth in Jordan is shaped by colonialism, nation building in postcolonial states, and the influence of international development agencies. This book provides a detailed look at the social, cultural, and political institutions that manage reproductive health today. Through direct interviews with midwives, physicians, pregnant women, and mothers, the text offers a grounded perspective on the lived experiences of women. The research covers a wide range of institutional settings, including clinics, hospitals, doctor's offices, NGOs, and government departments. This work is an essential resource for those studying Middle Eastern history, gender politics, and the impact of state ideologies on healthcare systems.
