Most women in the West use contraceptives in order to avoid having children. But in rural Gambia and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, many women use contraceptives for the opposite reason-to have as many children as possible. Using ethnographic and demographic data from a three-year study in rural Gambia, Contingent Lives explains this seemingly counterintuitive fact by juxtaposing two very different understandings of the life course: one is a linear, Western model that equates aging and the ability to reproduce with the passage of time, the other a Gambian model that views aging as contingent on the cumulative physical, social, and spiritual hardships of personal history, especially obstetric trauma. Viewing each of these two models from the perspective of the other, Caroline Bledsoe produces fresh understandings of the classical anthropological subjects of reproduction, time, and aging as culturally shaped within women's conjugal lives. Her insights will be welcomed by scholars of anthropology and demography as well as by those working in public health, development studies, gerontology, and the history of medicine.

Onderwijs en vruchtbaarheid in ontwikkelingslanden is het onderwerp van dit boek. De laatste helft van deze eeuw hebben er grote veranderingen plaatsgevonden in de toekomstverwachtingen van jongeren in ontwikkelingslanden. Met name op vlak van onderwijs en gewenst kinderaantal. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat veel paren minder kinderen wensen in vergelijking met twee decennia geleden. In bijna elk land ter wereld wordt het Westers onderwijsmodel gezien als de beste voorbereiding voor het volwassen leven van meisjes. De onderwijsparticipatie van meisjes is dan ook de laatste decennia gestegen. Het is onwaarschijnlijk dat er geen verband zou bestaan tussen beide veranderingen. In veel ontwikkelingslanden ziet men nu in dat, wil men de bevolkingsgroei afremmen en het land verder ontwikkelen, men moet investeren in onderwijs voor meisjes. De auteurs van dit boek plaatsen kritische kanttekeningen bij dit causaal verband. Zij menen dat de link onderwijs-dalende vruchtbaarheid niet overal van toepassing is.
