In this beautifully written and insightful book, Elly Teman shows how surrogates and intended mothers carefully negotiate their cooperative endeavor. Drawing on anthropological fieldwork among Jewish Israeli women, interspersed with cross-cultural perspectives of surrogacy in the global context, Teman traces the processes by which surrogates relinquish any maternal claim to the baby even as intended mothers accomplish a complicated transition to motherhood. Teman's groundbreaking analysis reveals that as surrogates psychologically and emotionally disengage from the fetus they carry, they develop a profound and lasting bond with the intended mother.Surrogate body and the pregnant selfSurrogate mothersIsraelMothersIsraelPregnancyIsraelJudaismSurrogate mothersMothersPregnancyJudaism.306.874/3Teman Elly792110MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969346203321Birthing a mother1771149UNINA
