Planning Families In Nepal: Global And Local Projects Of Reproduction - 9780813578620

Based on almost a decade of research in the Kathmandu Valley, Planning Families in Nepal offers a compelling account of Hindu Nepali women as they face conflicting global and local ideals regarding family planning. By examining family life as it unfolds over time, Jan Brunson delivers a fresh perspective on discussions of contraception, son preference, the joint family, and the inability of the concept "planning" to accurately describe conception and reproduction in a patrilocal family system.
