520    How do women in Hausa-speaking Niger think about pregnancy
       and childbirth differently from women in the United States
       or Europe? Barbara M. Cooper sets out to answer this 
       question to understand how childbirth has been experienced
       in the history of the African Sahel, a place that has the 
       world's highest fertility rates, but also one of the 
       highest rates of maternal and infant mortality. Cooper 
       presents a history of what it is like for many rural women
       to bear children in Niger. She sketches out the influence 
       of geography, ethnicity, social status, and religion to 
       come to a deeper understanding of reproduction and the 
       practices of fertility and maternal well-being from 
       colonialism to today. Cooper unveils a complex landscape 
       of religious and family life where women who have no 
       children may be shunned, where competition between wives 
       for fertility may be intense, and where access to medicine
       may be improvised. In this patriarchal society where women
       are poorly educated a culture of sorrow and shame develops
       among them. Cooper suggests that in this volatile 
       environment it is little wonder that pregnancy and birth 
       are tremendously dangerous practices.
