Breast or Bottle? HIV-Positive Women's Responses to Global Health Policy on Infant Feeding in India
This article describes how local responses to global health initiatives on infant feeding for HIV-positive mothers reflect and transform sociocultural values in Tamil Nadu, India. Drawing from ethnographic research conducted from 2002 to 2008, the article compares guidelines for counseling HIV-positive mothers established by UNICEF and WHO with decision-making processes and perceptions of HIV-positive mothers. In addition to the financial conside…
HIV/Aids and the Gendering of Stigma in Tamil Nadu, South India
Drawing on the seminal theoretical work on stigma by Goffman, this article analyzes stigma through the lens of Parker and Aggleton, who call for the joining of Goffman and Foucault to better grasp relationships among stigma, power and social inequality. Studies on the social impact of HIV/AIDS globally have demonstrated that women tend to be blamed for the spread of HIV/AIDS, and as a result, HIV-positive women face greater stigma and discriminat…
Where There Is No Midwife
Navigating HIV, Pregnancy, and Childbearing in South India
Based on ethnographic research conducted in 2004 and 2002-3, this article examines how poor women living with HIV in Tamilnadu, India navigate decisions about pregnancy and birth, and demonstrates that these decisions are influenced by a complex web of sociocultural factors. I argue that these decisions are informed by: 1) institutional interests of the state, NGOs, and international aid donors; 2). cultural constructions of gender and of the sel…
Birthing in the Pacific
Birth on the Threshold
Even childbirth is affected by globalization—and in India, as elsewhere, the trend is away from home births, assisted by midwives, toward hospital births with increasing reliance on new technologies. And yet, as this work of critical feminist ethnography clearly demonstrates, the global spread of biomedical models of childbirth has not brought forth one monolithic form of "modern birth." Focusing on the birth experiences of lower-class women in t…
Invoking Vali
As reproduction becomes increasingly biomedicalized throughout the globe, reproductive technologies are used in unique ways and imbued with different meanings. This article explores why lower-class women in south India in the 1990s were demanding to have childbirth labors induced with oxytocin drugs while rejecting anesthesia. Cultural constructions women's reproductive power are evoked and reworked in discourses of modernity that explain this pr…
Moving targets
In 1995, nurses and doctors in many of the public maternity wards in the state of Tamil Nadu in India were routinely inserting IUDsimmediately following childbirth and abortions, as part of the target-orientated family planning policy. This practice, sometimes carried out unbeknownst to women or against their will, has received little public attention. Tamil Nadu's success in reaching state targets for TUD acceptance far exceeded those of all oth…
