Description

This scholarly work by Irene Maffi examines how political imperatives and dominant health ideologies shape women's health in the Middle East, with particular focus on Jordan. Through interviews with midwives, physicians, pregnant women and mothers, the book explores the social, cultural and political institutions managing childbirth across clinics, hospitals, doctor's offices, NGOs and government departments. Maffi delineates the lasting influence of colonialism, nation building in postcolonial states, and international development agencies on reproductive health policy and practice. Published by I.B.Tauris in the Library of Modern Middle East Studies series, this volume offers a thorough analysis of how health systems and childbirth practices reflect broader political structures and cultural values in the region, making it essential reading for scholars of Middle Eastern studies, health policy, women's studies and development.
