Maternity, Medicine, and Power: Reproductive Decisions in Urban Benin explores the complex interplay of cultural beliefs, socio-economic factors, and medical systems influencing the reproductive choices of urban Bariba women in Parakou, Benin. The book examines how traditional Bariba values—such as honor, stoicism, and spiritual vigilance—intersect with the pressures and opportunities of urban life, particularly in the domain of obstetrical care. Urban Bariba women, caught between traditional practices and modern healthcare options, navigate choices shaped by indigenous beliefs about witchcraft, societal status aspirations, and perceptions of medical competence.
