A Study of Abortion in Primitive Societies by George Devereux is a comprehensive analysis of the practice of abortion in various primitive societies. The book explores the cultural, social, and psychological factors that influence the decision to terminate a pregnancy in these societies. Devereux examines the attitudes towards abortion in societies such as the Navajo, the Hopi, and the Zuni, among others. He also discusses the role of traditional healers and midwives in performing abortions, as well as the methods used for the procedure. The book provides a fascinating insight into the complex and often contradictory attitudes towards abortion in these societies, and sheds light on the ways in which cultural and social norms shape reproductive practices. Overall, A Study of Abortion in Primitive Societies is an important contribution to the field of anthropology and offers valuable insights into the cultural diversity of human reproductive practices.A Typological, Distributional, And Dynamic Analysis Of The Prevention Of Birth In 400 Preindustrial Societies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
