Sommario/riassunto: Setting the history of Japanese American midwives in context, this book reveals little-known ethnic, racial, and regional aspects of women's history and the history of medicine. It demonstrates the impossibility of separating domestic policy from foreign policy, and public health from racial politics, medical care from women's care giving.
