"Other" Mothers: Race and Representation in Natural Childbirth Discourse‪.‬

"[T]here is no vantage outside the actuality of relationships between cultures, between unequal imperial and non-imperial powers, between different Others, a vantage that might allow one the epistemological privilege of somehow judging, evaluating and interpreting free of the encumbering interests, emotions and engagements of the ongoing relationships themselves" (Edward Said, 1989, p. 216). "Biology is an historical discourse, not the body itself" (Donna Haraway, 1989, p. 290).
