In examining local cultural, social, economic, and health system factors shaping maternity care and birth, Rudrum also analyzes the encounter between ambitious global health goals and the local realities. Interrogating how culture and technical problems are framed in international health interventions, Rudrum reveals that the objectifying and colonizing premises on which interventions are based often result in the negative consequences in local healthcare. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003eList of Acronyms and Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eGlossary of Acholi (Luo) Words\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter One: Introduction to A Crisis in Maternal Health\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eContexts of Care\u003cbr\u003eBackground on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)\u003cbr\u003eSkilled birth attendants (SBAs) and traditional birth attendants (TBAs)\u003cbr\u003ePolicy and social contexts for maternity care and childbirth\u003cbr\u003eThe post-conflict setting\u003cbr\u003eMethodology and Methods\u003cbr\u003eKey Institutional Ethnography definitions: Institutions, participants, and work\u003cbr\u003eData collection\u003cbr\u003ePositioning myself as researcher\u003cbr\u003eTheorizing methods\u003cbr\u003eOutline\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Ongoing Social Distress: Care-seeking in a Remote Post-Conflict Context\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eOverview of the Conflict in Northern Uganda\u003cbr\u003eOngoing Social and Economic Impacts of the War\u003cbr\u003eAbduction, health and community membership\u003cbr\u003eThe internally displaced persons (IDP) camps\u003cbr\u003eOngoing Social Distress: Land Conflicts and Disease Epidemics\u003cbr\u003eThe outbreak of disease\u003cbr\u003eAgriculture\u003cbr\u003eLand disputes\u003cbr\u003ePoverty and lack of infrastructure\u003cbr\u003eImpacts on study participants\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eMap of Uganda\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Pregnancy and Daily Life: Health System and Home Factors Shaping Care\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eFocused (Goal-Oriented) Antenatal Care (ANC)\u003cbr\u003eThe Message to Attend ANC\u003cbr\u003eThe Provision of Mama Kits\u003cbr\u003eFormal Health Care Providers\u003cbr\u003eThe setting for formal health care provision\u003cbr\u003eClinical officers\u003cbr\u003eMidwives\u003cbr\u003eEnrolled comprehensive nurses, registered nurses, nursing assistants, and nurse aides\u003cbr\u003eInformal Health Care Providers\u003cbr\u003eTraditional birth attendants (TBAs)\u003cbr\u003eThe village health team (VHT)\u003cbr\u003eTransportation, Nutrition, and Work\u003cbr\u003eTransportation\u003cbr\u003eLack of capacity to provide care at sub-county health centres\u003cbr\u003eNutrition and work\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Charity and Control: When Help Requires Compliance\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eA Reward for Care or a Gift to the Vulnerable?
