Abstract

Genocide has been a major killer over the last century and more. Warning Signs of Genocide: An Anthropological Perspective reveals warning signs of genocide, finding that it normally occurs when a political regime takes power by exploiting group hatreds, and later feels itself threatened and insecure. The regime then unleashes genocide against vulnerable groups. Knowing the warning signs should make the international community take note that genocide is virtually certain to occur, and take action to stop it.

Abstract

This book uniquely explores American cultural values as a factor in maternal health. It looks beyond the social determinants of health as primarily contributing to the escalating maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States. The United States is an outlier with poor maternal health outcomes and high morbidity/mortality in comparison to other high-resource and many mid-level resource nations. While the social determinants of health identify social and environmental conditions affecting maternal health, they do not answer the broader underlying question of why many American women, in a high-resource environment, experience poor maternal health outcomes. Frequent near-misses, high levels of severe childbearing-related morbidity, and high maternal mortality are comparable to those of lower-resource nations. This book includes contributions from recognized medical and cultural anthropologists, and diverse clinical and public health professionals. The authors examine American patterns of decision-making from the perspectives of intersecting social, cultural, and medical values influencing maternal health outcomes. Using an interdisciplinary critical analysis approach, the work draws upon decision-making theory and life course theory. Topics explored include: Cultural values as a basis for decision-making Social regard for motherhood Immigrants, refugees and undocumented mothers Cultural conflicts and maternal autonomy Health outcomes among justice-involved mothers Maternal Health and American Cultural Values: Beyond the Social Determinants is an essential resource for clinical and public health practitioners and their students, providing a framework for graduate-level courses in public health, the health sciences, women’s studies, and the social sciences. The book also targets anthropologists, sociologists, and women studies scholars seeking to explain the links between American cultural decision-making and health outcomes. Policy-makers, ethicists, journalists, and advocates for reproductive health justice also would find the text a useful resource.

Abstract

Dit boek onderzoekt en evalueert de praktijk van vroed- en verloskunde in de Verenigde Staten. De verschillende fasen in de zwangerschap en de bevalling en de problemen die daarbij kunnen rijzen, komen aan bod. De meest recente en tevens wetenschappelijk bewezen medhodes worden toegelicht en in kaart gebracht. De meer controversiële aspecten van de medische praktijk worden doorgelicht, m.a.w.: wat niet wetenschappelijk bewezen is, wordt aan een kritisch onderzoek onderworpen. Het boek is onderverdeeld in drie secties. Ten eerste: welke wetenschappelijke kaders voor verloskunde bestaan er (EBM = evidence-based medicine) en op welke manier kan men het beroep van vroedvrouw of verloskundige een steviger basis geven. Ten tweede: welke zijn de beste wetenschappelijk onderbouwde methodes. Ten derde: in welke gevallen komen de praktijk en de wetenschap onvoldoen overeen (of zelfs helemaal niet).
