Sobre IBD

Барбара Купер исследует репродуктивные практики в регионе с самым высоким в мире уровнем рождаемости и пугающе высоким уровнем материнской и младенческой смертности. Автор показывает, как рабство и его отмена, французское военное правление и стремительное распространение ислама, а также окружающая среда влияли на роды и рождаемость в Нигере с XIX века до наших дней. Она описывает социальную среду, где страх перед бесплодием порождает острую конкуренцию как между общинами и этническими группами, так и внутри семей, формируя культуру, в которой стигма бесплодия доминирует над опасностями перенаселения.
