Baloch Midwives

As the first major ethnography of Baloch midwives in Pakistan, this book draws on long-term ethnographic research in Balochistan province, showing how dhinabogs/dheenabogs (Baloch midwives ranging in age from about 30 to 80) and their dhinabogiri (midwifery) aid women and their kin through labor and postpartum recovery.
