Based on her fieldwork in a Mayan community in postwar Guatemala, Berry (health sciences, Simon Fraser U., Vancouver, BC) presents ethnographic vignettes in a case study of challenges facing, and efforts to support, poor indigenous women in developing countries facing pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. Focusing on relational subjectivities (after Strathern & Joseph) since birthing difficulties are not faced alone rather than on biomedical causes of maternal mortality, the cultural anthropologist advocates that policies of the global Safe Motherhood Campaign take into account local women's experiences. Several photographs complement the text. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
