Product Information
Described by some as a "necropolis for babies," the province of Quebec in the early twentieth century recorded infant mortality rates, particularly among French-speaking Catholics, that were among the highest in the Western world. This "bleeding of the nation" gave birth to a vast movement for child welfare that paved the way for a medicalization of childbearing. In Babies for the Nation , basing her analysis on extensive documentary research and more than fifty interviews with mothers, Denyse Baillargeon sets out to understand how doctors were able to convince women to consult them, and why mothers chose to follow their advice. Her analysis considers the medical discourse of the time, the development of free services made available to mothers between 1910 and 1970, and how mothers used these services. Showing the variety of social actors involved in this process (doctors, nurses, women's groups, members of the clergy, private enterprise, the state, and the mothers themselves), this study delineates the alliances and the conflicts that arose between them in a complex phenomenon that profoundly changed the nature of childbearing in Quebec. Un Québec en mal d'enfants: La médicalisation de la maternité 1910--1970 was awarded the Clio-Québec Prize, the Lionel Groulx-Yves-Saint-Germain Prize, and the Jean-Charles-Falardeau Prize. This translation by W. Donald Wilson brings this important book to a new readership.

Reviews
''In 1927, Canadian Child Welfare News reported that 'Canada enjoys the apparently unenviable distinction of attaining the highest infant mortality rate in recent years.' The journal placed the blame for this shameful achievement entirely on the province of Quebec, whose startlingly high rate of infant deaths had been added to the national registry of births and deaths for the first time, raising the national average of infant mortality from 78.6 to 101.9 per one thousand live births (p. 17). Denyse Baillargeon's absorbing Babies for the Nation: The Medicalization of Motherhood in Quebec, 1910-1970 uses extensive archival research and oral history to interrogate the reasons for Quebec's notorious ranking and how this changed the way pregnancy, childcare, and motherhood were conceptualized. Building on previous work in the history of health, children, and women by Wendy Mitchson, Cynthia Comacchio, and Andre Lvesque, Babies for the Nation offers a complex analysis of the constellation of stakeholders--physicians and nurses, the government, insurance agents, women's groups, and mothers--dedicated to solving Quebec's infant mortality crisis for the sake of children and their families and, by proxy, for improving the province's reputation as a vital nation.... What is really remarkable about Baillargeon's study is that she does not only pay attention to the prescriptive side of how the 'experts' thought mothers should act. Through extensive oral history, she shows how women digested and adapted the medical advice and services offered to them and contributed in their own ways to raising health children.... Babies for the Nation is a multifaceted analysis of the ways Quebec confronted infant mortality throughout the twentieth century. Baillargeon's study would appeal to anyone interested in understanding the role child welfare plays in characterizing not only the role and responsibility of women, but also the destiny of an entire province.'', "Originally published in 2004, Denyse Baillargeon's Un Quibec en mal d'enfonu has finally been translated for an English-speaking audience. Babies for the Nation offers a riveting study of the medicalisation of maternity and maternal discourses in Quebec over the course of the twentieth century, bringing attention to an issue largely elided within existing studies of Quebec. Babies for the Nation is an indispensable resource for social historians interested in the growth of maternal and medical ideologies in French-Canada across the twentieth century, shedding light on an issue left largely unexplored until now. Similarly, Baillargeon's focus on the political movements and welfare groups that arose to help Structure and safeguard new procedures and discourses also make this an interesting read for political historians concerned with the rise of state intervention in the home." - Sarah Galletly, University of Strathclyde, British Journal of Canadian Studies, Volume 23 (Number 2), 2010, Originally published in 2004, Denyse Baillargeon's Un Qubec en mal d'enfants has finally been translated for an English-speaking audience. Babies for the Nation offers a riveting study of the medicalisation of maternity and maternal discourses in Quebec over the course of the twentieth century, bringing attention to an issue largely elided within existing studies of Quebec.... [A]n indispensable resource for social historians interested in the growth of maternal and medical ideologies in French-Canada.... Similarly, Baillargeon's focus on the political movements and welfare groups that arose to help structure and safeguard new procedures and discourses also make this an interesting read for political historians concerned with the rise of state intervention in the home. Tamara Sonn argues on the study's jacket that: 'This dense and scholarly work...will probably remain a definitive work on the topic', and this reviewer would have to strongly agree., [A] passionate work of social history.... It also has particular relevance at a time when many women are turning to midwives and choosing to have their babies at home--a modern-day challenge to the now hegemonic status of medicalized childbirth.
