Birth as an American Rite of Passage - Social Science Perspectives on Childbirth and Reproduction
Davis-Floyd, Robbie (Rice University)
This book reexamines the "standard" procedures used to "manage" American childbirth, identifying non-evidence-based obstetric interventions as rituals enacting core values of the American technocracy. This new edition brings together new data with Davis-Floyd's insights into the ritualization and models of labor and birth.
