Reviews
A thoughtful analysis of birthing practices in Puerto Rico, written from a historical, multifaceted perspective., Córdova's fascinating history of the (over)medicalization of child birth in twentieth-century Puerto Rico demonstrates how ideological changes are embedded in sociocultural, political, and economic shifts...This is an important examination of how individual decisions, here related to child birth, become imbricated in more diffuse forms of biopower. By relying on anthropological theories of child birth and the body that center women's embodied experiences, Córdova tells a story about women from women's perspectives with attention to the constraints within which they occurred. It is a model for how to write biomedical history., The case of childbirth in Puerto Rico [presented in Pushing in Silence ] tells a compelling story about the relatively short life span of pure capitalism implemented in the most intentional and soulless manner, and suggests its potential to dispatch with ancestral cultural practices in very short order., Whereas traditional historical accounts have focused on the purely economic and political forces at lay in the institutional development of biomedicine in Puerto Rico, Córdova astutely illustrates the inherent intersectionality in these dynamics. She works to explore the entangled relationship of class, gender, race, politics and power that imbue childbirth and medicine more broadly., Meticulously researched and engagingly written...[Córdova] provides novel insights on the forces that have so dramatically reshaped the experience of childbirth in Puerto Rico... Pushing in Silence is an excellent contribution not only to the history of Puerto Rico but to the history of gender, medicine, and modernization more broadly., Engaging...[Córdova] carefully links the medicalization of pregnancy, labor, and delivery on the island to changing economic and industrial policies; to a growing bureaucratic emphasis on standardization and efficiency; and to the professionalization of medical doctors, particularly obstetricians, between 1948 and the early 2000s., It's more important than ever to restore a sense of [Puerto Rico] as a complex place with a rich history--as much more than a disaster. This book certainly gives us that., Córdoba's writing is clear, her story is compelling, and she makes excellent use of historical documents and the interviews that she conducted with midwives, mothers, and doctors...This book is important reading for those interested in medical history, recent Puerto Rican history, and gender studies, as well as for medical professionals., A very detailed and enlightening read... Pushing in Silence contributes to the understanding of the history of medicine and of birthing in the Americas. It provides a poignant look at the effects of development policies on the lived experiences of birth and will surely encourage further research., Pushing in Silence eloquently narrates the complex experience of birth in Puerto Rico over the course of the second-half of the twentieth century to illustrate how medicalized birth arose due to a cultural value change rather than a vis-á-vis state imposition., The ethnographic element of Córdova's research methods gives her writing greater sensitivity to the stratified nature of reproduction and, specifically, highlights that the ways women give birth vary based on class, gender and geographic space. As a result, Pushing in Silence reveals overall trends and local nuances.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
