Summary

"'Birth' is more than the begetting of children and Nancy Rose Hunt's 'colonial lexicon' is much more than a history of medicalized childbearing in the formerly Belgian Congo in colonial and post-colonial times. . . . With erudition and wit Hunt challenges conventional models--be they feminist, obstetric, colonial, missionary, or health-bureaucratic--about what it means to medicalize childbearing."--Barbara Duden, Universitat Hannover
