Pages : 183
Book Description
The accounts of women navigating pregnancy in a post-conflict setting are characterized by widespread poverty, weak infrastructure, and inadequate health services. With a focus on a remote rural agrarian community in northern Uganda, Global Health and the Village brings the complex local and transnational factors governing women’s access to safe maternity care into view. In examining local cultural, social, economic, and health system factors shaping maternity care and birth, Rudrum also analyzes the encounter between ambitious global health goals and the local realities. Interrogating how culture and technical problems are framed in international health interventions, Rudrum reveals that the objectifying and colonizing premises on which interventions are based often result in the negative consequences in local healthcare.

Adolescent Maternal Nutrition and Health in Uganda

Book Description
INTRODUCTION: Over one quarter of adolescent girls in rural Uganda and more than one fifth of them in the Busoga region of Eastern Uganda experience pregnancy and childbirth. These young mothers have disproportionately high rates of poverty, food insecurity, social isolation and poor health, and lack adequate access to health care and employment. Improvement of adolescent maternal/child nutrition and health may be compromised by a number of barriers faced by young mothers. Challenges met by stakeholders who could support adolescent maternal/child health may also complicate issues. Community-level action is a key strategy to reverse the cycle of oppression for these girls and their offspring. There is scanty literature about studies that have focused on needs and barriers of teenage mothers, opportunities available in the community, challenges faced by service providers, and stakeholder recommendations and avenues of capacity building in rural Eastern Uganda with a goal of understanding influences on adolescent maternal/child nutrition and health. Moreover, the application of the social cognitive theory and ideas borrowed from the social ecological framework to this issue helps to emphasize the individual and environmental (social/economic/physical/nutrition/health service) factors that interact to influence the behaviors of young mothers. Since an aim of the research is ultimately to guide community-level intervention, it was important to understand context from the perspectives of a range of stakeholders of adolescent maternal/child nutrition and health relevant to the geographic setting of rural Jinja district. This study could help to inform further research and may help in forming feasible and acceptable community-based interventions towards enhancing adolescent maternal/child nutrition and health.
Managing Motherhood, Managing Risk

Book Description
In Managing Motherhood, Managing Risk, Denise Roth Allen persuasively argues that development interventions in the Third World often have unintended and unacknowledged consequences. Based on twenty-two months of fieldwork in the Shinyanga Region of west central Tanzania, this rich and engaging ethnography of women's fertility-related experiences highlights the processes by which a set of seemingly well-intentioned international maternal health policy recommendations go awry when implemented at the local level. An exploration of how threats to maternal health have been defined and addressed at the global, national, and local levels, Managing Motherhood, Managing Risk presents two contrasting, and oftentimes competing, definitions of risk: those that form the basis of international recommendations and national maternal health policies and those that do not. The effect that these contrasting definitions of risk have on women's fertility-related experiences at the local level are explored throughout the book. This study employs an innovative approach to the analysis of maternal health risk, one that situates rural Tanzanian women's fertility-related experiences within a broader historical and sociocultural context. Beginning with an examination of how maternal health risk was defined and addressed during the early years of British colonial rule in Tanganyika and moving to a discussion of an internationally conceived maternal health initiative that was launched on the world stage in the late 1980s, the author explores the similarities in the language used and solutions proposed by health development experts over time. This set of "official" maternal health risks is then compared to an alternative set of risks that emerge when attention is focused on women's experiences of pregnancy and childbirth at the local level. Although some of these latter risks are often spoken about as deriving from spiritual or supernatural causes, the case studies presented throughout the second half of the book reveal that the concept of risk in the context of pregnancy and childbirth is much more complex, involving the interplay of spiritual, physical, and economic aspects of everyday life.
