- Description
- Also childbirth is affected by globalization and in India the trend is away from home births, assisted by midwives, toward hospital births with increasing reliance on new technologies. And yet the global spread of biomedical models of childbirth has not brought forth one monolithic form of 'modern birth.' Focusing on the birth experiences of lower-class women in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, this book reveals the complex and unique ways in which modernity emerges in local contexts. Through the birth stories of the women of Tamil Nadu in their own voices and their critiques of and aspirations for modern births today the book shows what women think of it. In light of these stories, author Cecilia Van Hollen explores larger questions about how the structures of colonialism and postcolonial international and national development have helped to shape the form and meaning of birth for Indian women today.

- Description
- This study of the relationship between the postcolonial, democratic Indian nation-state and Indian women's actual needs and lives. Rajan shows how the state is central to understanding women's identities and how, reciprocally, women and women's issues affect the state's role and function. She argues that in India law and citizenship define for women not only the scope of political rights but also cultural identity and everyday life. She delineates the postcolonial state in implicit contrast with the 'enlightened', postfeminist neoliberal state in the West.
