Embodying Culture: Pregnancy in Japan and Israel - Studies in Medical Anthropology
Tsipy Ivry
Presents an exploration of pregnancy in two different cultures - Japan and Israel - both of which medicalize pregnancy. This title focuses on 'low-risk' or 'normal' pregnancies, using cultural comparison to explore the complex relations among ethnic ideas about procreation, medical models of pregnancy care, and local modes of maternal agency.
