Birth in Times of Despair: Reproductive Violence on the US-Mexico Border - Anthropologies of American Medicine: Culture, Power, and Practice
Carina Heckert
Heckert traces women’s emotional experiences of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period in the midst of a series of longstanding and ongoing crises in the US-Mexico border region. Expands our understanding of how obstetric violence is enhanced by the structural violence of the state, and unveils the urgency to ameliorate the harm caused by current immigration policies.
