<i>Birth Rites and Rights</i> contains a mixture of empirical and theoretical chapters, drawing on a range of disciplines, including anthropology, psychology, gender studies, (medical) sociology, law, and history. On the whole this is a strength of the book...each author refers to points or arguments made in other chapters which generates a dialogue between the authors, and creates a sense of cohesion around the book, The book offers something for everyone, and is particularly useful for sociology and medical students.
