"Passing children" and precarious pathways: on the contingency of reproductive life courses in Cameroon.
This article by Erica van Sijpt explores the implications of reproductive mishaps for the life courses of women in eastern Cameroon.
Based on 15 months of anthropological fieldwork in a Gbigbil village, it
describes local ideas about the expected unfolding of physical and social life
trajectories, and the ways in which reproductive losses jeopardize these
anticipated pathways.
