"Studies of breastfeeding have proliferated over the last decade. Breastfeeding is
an intimate and deep-rooted bodily practice and yet also a highly controversial sociocultural
process, invoking strong reactions from advocates and opponents. Whilst breastfeeding
practices and experiences vary greatly in different parts of the world, reducing infant
mortality is a pressing international goal for governments and societies. Representing
cross-cultural concerns of researchers, policy-makers and mothers, this important
book takes a rich ethnographic survey of breastfeeding all over the world. Breastfeeding
is shown to highlight various links between gender, power and resources in culture.
Each chapter covers a new topic and ethnic or national group, and major topical themes
of research such as the rise of milk banks, mother-to-mother sharing networks facilitated
by social media, breast milk and HIV are explored"
