Download or read book Infertility in a Crowded Country written by Holly Donahue Singh and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Lucknow, the capital of India's most populous state, the stigmas and colonial legacies surrounding sexual propriety and population growth affect how Muslim women, often in poverty, cope with infertility. In Infertility in a Crowded Country, Holly Donahue Singh draws on interviews, observation, and autoethnographic perspectives in local communities and Lucknow's infertility clinics to examine access to technology and treatments and to explore how pop culture shapes the reproductive paths of women and their supporters through clinical spaces, health camps, religious sites, and adoption agencies. Donahue Singh finds that women are willing to transgress social and religious boundaries to seek healing. By focusing on interpersonal connections, Infertility in a Crowded Country provides a fascinating starting point for discussions of family, kinship, and gender; the global politics of reproduction and reproductive technologies; and ideologies and social practices around creating families.

Download or read book Disquieting Gifts written by Erica Bornstein and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[This] artful ethnography . . . challenges us to reconsider both what giving looks like, and the relational possibilities of anthropological practice itself.” —Jocelyn L. Chua, American Ethnologist While most people would not consider sponsoring an orphan’s education to be in the same category as international humanitarian aid, both acts are linked by the desire to give. Many studies focus on the outcomes of humanitarian work, but the impulses that inspire people to engage in the first place receive less attention. Disquieting Gifts takes a close look at people working on humanitarian projects in New Delhi to explore why they engage in philanthropic work, what humanitarianism looks like to them, and the ethical and political tangles they encounter. Motivated by debates surrounding Marcel Mauss’s The Gift, Bornstein investigates specific cases of people engaged in humanitarian work to reveal different perceptions of assistance to strangers versus assistance to kin, how the impulse to give to others in distress is tempered by its regulation, suspicions about recipient suitability, and why the figure of the orphan is so valuable in humanitarian discourse. The book also focuses on vital humanitarian efforts that often go undocumented and ignored and explores the role of empathy in humanitarian work. “Bornstein . . . delineate[s] a ‘global economy of giving’ while questioning Western preconceptions about humanitarianism.” —Jonathan Benthall, Times Literary Supplement “Insightful and beautifully written . . . accessible and engaging.” —Pierre Minn, Social Anthropology “Conveys deep insights into international and intra-Indian charity and volunteering.” —Jonathan Benthall, University College London “Reveals the complexity of the contemporary moral economies of the gift.” —Didier Fassin, Institute for Advanced Study, author of Humanitarian Reason: A Moral History of the Present

Download or read book Motherhood and Choice written by Amrita Nandy and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can women live fully? If autonomy is critical for humans, why do women have little or no choice vis-à-vis motherhood? Do women know they have a choice, if they do? How 'free' are these choices in a context where the self is socially mired and deeply enmeshed into the familial? What are implications of motherhood on how human relatedness and belonging are defined? These questions underlie Amrita Nandy's remarkable research on motherhood as an institution, one that conflates 'woman' with 'mother' and 'personal' with 'political'. As the bedrock of human survival and an unchallenged norm of 'normal' female lives, motherhood expects and even compels women to be mothers—symbolic and corporeal. Even though the ideology of pronatalism and motherhood reinforce reproductive technology and vice versa, the care work of mothering suffers political neglect and economic devaluation. However, motherhood (and non-motherhood) is not just physiological. As the pivot to a web of heteronormative institutions (such as marriage and the family), motherhood bears an overwhelming and decisive influence on women's lives. Against the weight of traditional and contemporary histories, socio-political discourse and policies, this study explores how women, as embodiments of multiple identities, could live stigma-free, 'authentic' lives without having to abandon reproductive 'self'-determination.

Download or read book Manan written by Yasmin Sait and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the title suggests, this book aims to encourage introspection and self-discovery, hence, it’s not prescriptive and far from being, yet another, “self-help” book. Simply put, it’s a collection of anecdotes and life lessons of nine inspiring women, from different walks of life, whose life’s journey is the inspiring tale. These nine women overcame societal stereotypes, to define purpose and meaning to their lives, as an ongoing process, since evolving stages of life throws up new challenges as well as different pathways, with no “google lady” to guide, so one must navigate based on individual predisposition and self-esteem. Each narrative is distinct with its own nuances, poignancy and joy, hence, feel free to jump into any chapter that appeals to you and get back to the rest, or just re-read those that inspired you! The author, Yasmin Sait, has 3 decades experience in retail and entertainment sectors, including mother cum manager role for two media celebrities, Kubbra Sait and Danish Sait. She now functions as a “Life purpose coach” and counsellor. She too shares her life journey, with each twist and turn throwing up new challenges as well as opportunities to rejuvenate.
