Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. When "Call It Sleep", a critically celebrated novel by Henry Roth, was first published in 1934, its public sales were very low, and thus the book was dropped from publication and languished, almost forgotten. In 1964 Roth again decided to try the market for this book. Avon Books, one of the top paperback publishers of the time, took the book on and published the reprint: sales were much better for the reprint. It happened that Avon was experimenting at that time with rounded fore-edge corners, and this copy, a Third Printing from November, 1964 has the rounded corners. (This experiment in cover style was pretty quickly dropped, so later printings do not have the rounded corners.)

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Book is in excellent condition. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. 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.…
