| Zusammenfassung: | The World Health Organization is currently promoting a policy of replacing traditional or lay midwives in countries around the world. As part of an effort to record the knowledge of local midwives before it is lost, Midwives and Mothers explores birth, illness, death, and survival on a Guatemalan sugar and coffee plantation, or finca, through the lives of two local midwives, Doña Maria and her daughter Doña Siriaca, and the women they have served over a forty-year period. By comparing the practices and beliefs of the mother and daughter, Sheila Cosminsky shows the dynamics of the medicalization process and the contestation between the midwives and biomedical personnel, as the latter try to impose their system as the authoritative one. She discusses how the midwives syncretize, integrate, or reject elements from Mayan, Spanish, and biomedical systems. The midwives' story becomes a lens for understanding the impact of medicalization on people's lives and the ways in which women's bodies have become contested terrain between traditional and contemporary medical practices. Cosminsky also makes recommendations for how ethno-obstetric and biomedical systems may be accommodated, articulated, or integrated. Finally, she places the changes in the birthing system in the larger context of changes in the plantation system, including the elimination of coffee growing, which has made women, traditionally the primary harvesters of coffee beans, more economically dependent on men. |

By comparing the practices and beliefs of the mother and daughter, Sheila Cosminsky shows the dynamics of the medicalization process and the contestation between the midwives and biomedical personnel, as the latter try to impose their system as the authoritative one.

The midwives' story becomes a lens for understanding the impact of medicalization on people's lives and the ways in which women's bodies have become contested terrain between traditional and contemporary medical practices. Cosminsky also makes recommendations for how ethno-obstetric and biomedical systems may be accommodated, articulated, or integrated. Finally, she places the changes in the birthing system in the larger context of changes in the plantation system, including the elimination of coffee growing, which has made women, traditionally the primary harvesters of coffee beans, more economically dependent on men.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Midwives</subfield><subfield code="z">Guatemala</subfield><subfield code="x">Social conditions.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Traditional medicine</subfield><subfield code="z">Guatemala.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Childbirth</subfield><subfield code="x">Social aspects</subfield><subfield code="z">Guatemala.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Maternal health services</subfield><subfield code="x">Social aspects</subfield><subfield code="z">Guatemala.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Plantation life</subfield><subfield code="x">Health aspects</subfield><subfield code="z">Guatemala.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Rural development</subfield><subfield code="x">Health aspects</subfield><subfield code="z">Guatemala.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Maternal Health Services</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Guatemala</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Sages-femmes</subfield><subfield code="z">Guatemala</subfield><subfield code="x">Conditions sociales.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">MEDICAL</subfield><subfield code="x">Gynecology & Obstetrics.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Anthropology</subfield><subfield code="x">Cultural.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Childbirth</subfield><subfield code="x">Social aspects</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Maternal health services</subfield><subfield code="x">Social aspects</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Traditional medicine</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Guatemala</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJkdktKHvWwVjTT4rCGmBP</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Electronic book.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Midwives and mothers (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGdJWvJg3FMqtk8X8hWwhb</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Cosminsky, Sheila.</subfield><subfield code="t">Midwives and mothers.</subfield><subfield code="b">First edition.</subfield><subfield code="d">Austin : University of Texas Press, 2016</subfield><subfield code="z">9781477311387</subfield><subfield code="z">1477311386</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2016018052</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)945745615</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Louann Atkins Temple women & culture series ;</subfield><subfield code="v">bk. 43.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n00041616</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1408821</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBL -

The World Health Organization is currently promoting a policy of replacing traditional or lay midwives in countries around the world. As part of an effort to record the knowledge of local midwives before it is lost, Midwives and Mothers explores birth, illness, death, and survival on a Guatemalan sugar and coffee plantation, or finca, through the lives of two local midwives, Doña Maria and her daughter Doña Siriaca, and the women they have served over a forty-year period. By comparing the practices and beliefs of the mother and daughter, Sheila Cosminsky shows the dynamics of the medicalization process and the contestation between the midwives and biomedical personnel, as the latter try to impose their system as the authoritative one. She discusses how the midwives syncretize, integrate, or reject elements from Mayan, Spanish, and biomedical systems. The midwives' story becomes a lens for understanding the impact of medicalization on people's lives and the ways in which women's bodies have become contested terrain between traditional and contemporary medical practices. Cosminsky also makes recommendations for how ethno-obstetric and biomedical systems may be accommodated, articulated, or integrated. Finally, she places the changes in the birthing system in the larger context of changes in the plantation system, including the elimination of coffee growing, which has made women, traditionally the primary harvesters of coffee beans, more economically dependent on men.
