Addresses modern fears of dangerous motherhood, focusing on preoccupations with mothers' bodies as vectors for infection and contamination. It examines how the maternal body is perceived as a conduit for disease, drugs, or contaminants that end up in the body of an innocent—and pure—infant. Paying special attention to HIV transmission through breastfeeding, this examines ideologies of maternal embodiment that influence public health protocols and mothers' behaviours worldwide.
