Obstructed labour : Race and Gender in the Re-Emergence of Midwifery
Printer-friendly versionby Sheryl Nestel.
This book which started as a PhD dissertation looks at racism and how that has affected the practice of Midwifery in Ontario, from before legislation(Dec 93) to the present.
Obstructed Labour should be read by those who want to understand how racism works in both policy and everyday practice as well as by those interested in pursuing equity in the struggle for women’s reproductive rights. Published by the University of British of Columbia Press.
