Hush Little Baby
Author: Gal Ventura
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0228018382
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
In the nineteenth century France became fixated on infant sleep. Pictures of sleeping babies proliferated in paintings, posters, and advertisements for cradles and toys. Childcare manuals and medical writings insisted on the importance of sleep as a measure of a child’s future health and vigour. Infant sleep was transformed from an unremarkable event to a precarious stage of life that demanded monitoring, support, and, above all, the constant presence and attention of mothers. Hush Little Baby uncovers the cultural, medical, and economic forces that came to shape Western ideas about infants’ sleeping patterns, rituals, and settings. By the mid-nineteenth century doctors were advising that infant sleep should be carefully controlled by caregivers according to medical guidelines, and that to do otherwise would risk compromising a child’s development. A sleeping baby was seen as the sign of a good mother – an idea that was reinforced through countless pictures of mothers watching vigilantly over their sleeping children, even as the reality of postpartum depression was known to doctors. The medical advice literature also helped to create a commercial infant industry, encouraging the production of clothing, bedding, cradles, and accessories designed to foster sleep, and providing new ways for families to demonstrate social status. In Hush Little Baby Gal Ventura shows how these images and ideas about babies’ sleep created many of the standards and expectations that keep parents awake today.

And All is Said
Author: Zareer Masani
Publisher: Penguin Books India
ISBN: 0143417606
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
In this unflinchingly candid memoir, Zareer Masani draws on the letters and diaries of his parents, charismatic politician Minoo Masani and his gifted wife Shakuntala, to paint an intimate portrait of two remarkable individuals and two families the Masanis, Bombay Parsis, and the Srivastavas, U.P. Kayasths united by marriage but divided by temperament, lifestyle and political affiliation. Minoo's father, Sir Rustom Masani, was an ascetic scholar who scorned wealth and all the comforts it could buy. Shakuntala's father, Sir J.P. Srivastava, arch-loyalist of the British Raj, made a fortune as a textile mill owner and brought up his daughter in the lap of hedonistic luxury. When the two fell in love and eloped, Minoo Masani was the twice-divorced leader of the left-wing Congress Socialist party. Later, he became a founder-member of the pro-free market Swatantra party, a man whom Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described as his main ideological inspiration. The author writes of his upbringing in these two milieus, torn between the rival influences and attractions of his Parsi and Hindu grandparents; of the anguish and isolation of coming to terms with his homosexuality in 60s India; and of the breakdown of his parents marriage, which was closely interwoven with the political drama of Indira Gandhi's rise to power and her imposition of the Emergency.
