520    Most women in the West use contraceptives in order to 
       avoid having children. But in rural Gambia and other parts
       of sub-Saharan Africa, many women use contraceptives for 
       the opposite reason--to have as many children as possible.
       Using ethnographic and demographic data from a three-year 
       study in rural Gambia, Contingent Lives explains this 
       seemingly counterintuitive fact by juxtaposing two very 
       different understandings of the life course: one is a 
       linear, Western model that equates aging and the ability 
       to reproduce with the passage of time, the other a Gambian
       model that views aging as continge.
