چکیده
which plural medical systems emerge; how the Vietnamese have incorporated and transformed values and practices from elsewhere for their own benefit; and early examples of how Vietnamese women’s personal private reproductive lives became of concern to the state. Childbirth, Maternity, and Medical Pluralism in French Colonial Vietnam, 1880– 1945 provides valuable historical antecedents to contemporary discussions on Vietnamese motherhood and the state’s concern with ‘quality children’. Thuy Linh Nguyen’s work provides a cautionary lesson for contemporary health care practitioners and administrators working in different cultural and geographic contexts. French colonial ‘civilising’ efforts, accompanied by attitudes of superiority and a failure to understand the importance of indigenous beliefs about the body, mirror contemporary global health care efforts designed to change values and behaviours so that they align with western biomedical practices. We would be well advised to heed these lessons from the past.
