Zusammenfassung:Creation of the sanba in Meiji Japan -- Race relations, midwife regulations, and the sanba in the American west -- Seattle sanba and the creation of Issei community -- Midwife supervision in Hawai'i -- Militarization, midwifery, and World War II.
In the late 19th century, midwifery was transformed into a new women's profession by modernizing Japan. As emigration to the U.S. increased, so Japanese midwives became involved as cultural brokers & participated in the creation of a Japanese American identity.
