Beskrivning

This edited volume explores the intersection of spirituality with childbirth from 1800 to the present day from a comparative perspective. It illustrates how over this time period in much of the world, traditional practices, home births, and midwives have been overshadowed and undermined by male dominated obstetrics, hospitalization, and ultimately the medicalization of the birthing process itself.

Recensioner i media

This richly contextual book draws our attention to the energetic qualities of birth and the importance of honoring spirit and emotional wellbeing within myriad contrasting socio-political-cultural and cosmological belief milieus. This collection of diverse chapters takes us on a multi-layered journey through birth that acquaints us with something conjoined with birth yet often left unspoken. A welcome addition to the emergent literature that appreciates the intimate kinship of birth and spirituality.
