Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, the mandatory evacuation of Inuit women to southern Canada for hospitalized childbirth has resulted in many negative impacts on communities including a loss of culture in the form of traditional knowledge and midwifery practices, negative health and social outcomes due to emotional, physical, and economic stressors, and a loss of autonomy and decision-making in pregnancy and childbirth. Furthermore, it is part of a larger historical pattern of Western biomedicine enforced on northern populations as a method of colonization and assimilation. Using the framework of colonial governmentality, this research examines two Inuit midwifery programs currently operating in Inuit land-claim areas of Northern Canada-the Inuulitsivik Maternities in Nunavik, QC and the Rankin Inlet Birthing Centre in Rankin Inlet, NU. A social determinants of health framework is applied to identify the ways in which Inuit midwifery programs provide a holistic and culturally respectful childbirth option by addressing social determinants in a way that the mandatory evacuation system cannot. These programs address maternal health in a holistic community-based model, taking into account cultural and social determinants of health, and provide a viable way of returning birth to the North. This is a return of both the physical birth event and a restoration and revitalization of Inuit childbirth knowledge to the community. Inuit midwifery further works as a force for decolonization, taking into account the historical trauma of colonial medicine and providing a model for Indigenous midwifery systems across Canada.

Download or read book Childbirth Midwifery and Concepts of Time written by Christine McCourt and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All cultures are concerned with the business of childbirth, so much so that it can never be described as a purely physiological or even psychological event. This volume draws together work from a range of anthropologists and midwives who have found anthropological approaches useful in their work. Using case studies from a variety of cultural settings, the writers explore the centrality of the way time is conceptualized, marked and measured to the ways of perceiving and managing childbirth: how women, midwives and other birth attendants are affected by issues of power and control, but also actively attempt to change established forms of thinking and practice. The stories are engaging as well as critical and invite the reader to think afresh about time, and about reproduction.

Download or read book Birth Settings in America written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
Download or read book Birthing Models on the Human Rights Frontier written by Betty-Anne Daviss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the politics of global health and social justice issues around birth, focusing on dynamic communities that have chosen to speak truth to power by reforming dysfunctional health care systems or creating new ones outside the box. The chapters present models of childbirth at extreme ends of a spectrum—from the conflict zones and disaster areas of Afghanistan, Israel, Palestine, and Indonesia, to high-risk tertiary care settings in China, Canada, Australia, and Turkey. Debunking notions about best care, the volume illustrates how human rights in health care are on a collision course with global capitalism and offers a number of specific solutions to this ever-increasing problem. This volume will be a valuable resource for scholars and students in anthropology, sociology, health, and midwifery, as well as for practitioners, policy makers, and organizations focused on birth or on social activism in any arena.
