Читать книгу Contradicting Maternity - Carol Long - Страница 5

I would like to thank the mothers who generously shared their experiences with me and whose stories are told in this book. Thanks to the hospital for their humane and dedicated service despite the odds. Special thanks to Juliet Mitchell, who took me under her wing and guided me through this project with brilliance and compassion. To my family, particularly my parents Linda and Nigel, and to my dear friends who supported me through this process, I could not have done it without you. And to Michael, of course …

Sincere appreciation to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, for financial support and provision of an intellectual environment. Within the Faculty, the School of Human and Community Development has provided an intellectual home.

I would also like to thank the bodies who funded my PhD, upon which this book is based, including the Ernest Oppenheimer Memorial Trust, the Skye Foundation, the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust and the Smuts Memorial Fund.

Finally, thank you to the staff at Wits University Press, including Melanie Pequeux and Veronica Klipp, for making this book a beautifully presented reality.
