Reviews

This collection of stories provides an illuminating portrait of the lives of Samoan nurse-midwives as they reconsider the practices and character of their profession. The stories are particularly interesting for their depiction of the tensions between the Western-influenced biomedical model of nursing and the traditional model of the social or community midwife. <br>Pamela Klassen, University of Toronto and author of Blessed Events: Religion and Home Birth in America
