Produktbeschreibung
Drawing on The Birth Pleasure Study—the first rigorous mixed-methods research of its kind—this book presents rich data from 23 interviews covering 43 birth experiences across diverse racial, ethnic, gender, and socio-economic backgrounds. The book weaves experiential accounts with critical analysis to examine how cultural beliefs shape birth experiences and reinforce the maternal health crisis, particularly in the U.S. By introducing the Pleasure-Forward Birth Model, the book reimagines childbirth as a site of possibility, resilience, and joy, pushing back against the hyper-medicalized and fear-driven status quo.
Pleasure in Birth: Wellbeing, Praxis, and Reproductive Justice is ideal for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professional birth workers in the social and medical sciences, especially those interested in reproductive justice, maternal health, and cultural approaches to childbirth.
