Product Description
'Race' and Childbirth explores the experiences of pregnancy and childbirth from the perspectives of two groups of South Asian women in Britain.
It provides an up-to-date account of this much neglected subject exploring issues which are beyond the experience of many health professionals and highlighting many areas where there is a need for greater sensitivity. The book is recommended reading for general practitioners, obstetricians, midwives, health visitors and medical social workers.

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Health Service Journal
"...It would take a great deal of practical experience and cultural sensitivity for most practitioners to acquire the insight offered in this book...I would recommend it to any practitioner who needs to enhance their awareness of the needs of women from these client groups or has a general interest in the childbirth experiences of women from ethnic minorities." - Health Service Journal
