Titre du chapitre: How to get on the Right Side of the Border: Perinatal Health Education for Foreign Pregnant Women in France

Résumé du chapitre:

In order to promote access to perinatal health education for foreign women in France, several practitioners have set up health education programs dedicated to this audience. Based on an ethnographic survey carried out within eight educational interventions that took place in Paris, Seine-Saint-Denis and Bordeaux, this chapter analyzes these programs as frontier spaces. During group sessions, health professionals broadcast educational discourses that (re)produce symbolic boundaries between the subjects included (« We ») and the subjects excluded from the national community (« Others »). Ultimately, this chapter reveals how gender, race and class power relations run through perinatal health education.
