Описание: What would separate Union and Confederate countries look like if the South had won the Civil War? In fact, this was something that southern secessionists actively debated. Imagining themselves as nation builders, they understood the importance of a plan for the economic structure of the Confederacy. The traditional view assumes that Confederate slave-based agrarianism went hand in hand with a natural hostility toward industry and commerce. Turning conventional wisdom on its head, John Majewski's analysis finds that secessionists strongly believed in industrial development and state-led modernization. They blamed the South's lack of development on Union policies of discriminatory taxes on southern commerce and unfair subsidies for northern industry. Majewski argues that Confederates' opposition to a strong central government was politically tied to their struggle against northern legislative dominance. Once the Confederacy was formed, those who had advocated states' rights in the national legislature in order to defend against northern political dominance quickly came to support centralized power and a strong executive for war making and nation building.
As Puerto Rico rapidly industrialized from the late 1940s until the 1970s, the social, political, and economic landscape changed profoundly. In the realm of heath care, the development of medical education, new medical technologies, and a new faith in science radically redefined childbirth and its practice. What had traditionally been a home-based, family-oriented process, assisted by women and midwives and “accomplished” by mothers, became a medicalized, hospital-based procedure, “accomplished” and directed by biomedical, predominantly male, practitioners, and, ultimately reconfigured, after the 1980s, into a technocratic model of childbirth, driven by doctors’ fears of malpractice suits and hospitals’ corporate concerns.
Pushing in Silence charts the medicalization of childbirth in Puerto Rico and demonstrates how biomedicine is culturally constructed within regional and historical contexts. Prior to 1950, registered midwives on the island outnumbered registered doctors by two to one, and they attended well over half of all deliveries. Isabel M. Córdova traces how, over the next quarter-century, midwifery almost completely disappeared as state programs led by scientifically trained experts and organized by bureaucratic institutions restructured and formalized birthing practices. Only after cesarean rates skyrocketed in the 1980s and 1990s did midwifery make a modest return through the practices of five newly trained midwives. This history, which mirrors similar patterns in the United States and elsewhere, adds an important new chapter to the development of medicine and technology in Latin America.

Cuno Название: Modernizing Marriage: Family, Ideology, and Law in Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century Egypt ISBN: 0815630069 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780815630067 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 20860.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In 1910, when Khedive Abbas II married a second wife surreptitiously, the contrast with his openly polygamous grandfather, Ismail, whose multiple wives and concubines signified his grandeur and masculinity, could not have been greater. That contrast reflected the spread of new ideals of family life that accompanied the development of Egypt's modern marriage system. Modernizing Marriage explores the evolution of marriage and marital relations, shedding new light on the social and cultural history of Egypt. Family is central to modern Egyptian history and in the ruling court did the ""political work."" Indeed, the modern state began as a household government in which members of the ruler's household served in the military and civil service. Cuno discusses political and sociodemographic changes that affected marriage and family life and the production of a family ideology by modernist intellectuals, who identified the family as a site crucial to social improvement, and for whom the reform and codification of Muslim family law was a principal aim. Throughout Modernizing Marriage, Cuno examines Egyptian family history in a comparative and transnational context, addressing issues of colonial modernity and colonial knowledge, Islamic law and legal reform, social history, and the history of women and gender.

Описание: The very first facsimile reprint collection of the works of Ada Ballin (1863–1906), the leader of childcare and parenting in Victorian Britain and a pioneer of the scientific management of infant health. Ballin founded an influential magazine, Baby, for middle-class mothers, organized a series of trade fairs, ‘Baby’s Exhibition’, and gave many lectures. In this collection, in addition to all of her published books, her lecture at the famous International Health Exhibition and a series of pamphlets, ‘Mother’s Guide’, are reprinted with many illustrations. Extracts from the Introduction by Junko Mitsui-Yamamoto:--- Mrs. Ballin (Ada Sara Ballin, 1862–1906) was recognized as a foremost expert in childcare. She was also known as a dress reformer, a magazine editor and proprietor, a lecturer, and an author of advice books. She started her career as a dress reformer, but her advice on childcare covered clothing, food, shelter, education, and hygiene including expectant mothers. As The Times noted, the phrase "Ballin Baby", which indicated a healthy, beautiful and strong baby, had obtained the status of a "household word" by the turn of the century. Mrs. Ballin tried to enlighten Victorian women, especially mothers, on the importance of hygiene and health. She also advised them in making use of novel commodities to reduce their domestic burdens and to have a more comfortable life, responding to the growth and transformation of industry, retailing and consumer activities. Her attitude seemed essentially modern, questing for rationality. Maintaining the viewpoint of a mother, an amateur expert, Mrs. Ballin had a challenged educational profile when compared with male professionals. Her works were mainly targeted at middle-class women, at the time when the middle classes grew both in number and economic power. This reprint collection of advice books by Mrs. Ballin shows us a good paradigm of the shifting image of ideal mothers and children as well as the commodification of Victorian and Edwardian childrearing. More broadly, we get plenty of information on the practice of the contemporary "home-making" viewed from materialistic, physical and psychological viewpoints. "Science", or "the scientific approach" was one of the most fashionable and reliable standpoints for understanding and reforming various matters at that time. We can see how "science" came to be widely adopted into the daily lives of the ordinary person through the works of Mrs. Ballin. This reprinted collection will give new perspectives to those who are interested in the history of women, children, gender relations, family, education, consumption, hygiene and health …
