Optimizing nutrition during this time not only prevents childhood malnutrition, but also determines future health and potential. The Politics of Potential examines early life interventions in the first 1000 days of life in South Africa, drawing on fieldwork from international conferences, government offices, healthcare facilities, and the everyday lives of fifteen women and their families in Cape Town. Michelle Pentecost explores various aspects of a politics of potential, a term that underlines the first 1000 days concept and its effects on clinical care and the lives of childbearing women in South Africa. Why was The First 1000 Days project so readily adopted by South Africa and so many other countries? Pentecost not only explores this question, but also discusses the science of intergenerational transmissions of health, disease, and human capital, and how this constitutes new forms of intergenerational responsibility. The women who are the target of first 1000 days interventions are cast as both vulnerable and responsible for the health of future generations, such that, despite its history, intergenerational responsibility in South Africa remains ring-fenced in powerfully gendered and racialized ways"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The first 1000 days : origin stories -- Situated biologies : the view from Khayelitsha -- The traveling technology of mother and child -- Life between protocols -- Intergenerational transmissions : the Work of Time -- Ambivalent kin : on gender and violence -- Conclusion : the politics of potential. 650 0 $a Maternal health services $z Western Cape $z Western Cape $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Child health services $z Western Cape $z Western Cape $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Maternal and infant welfare $z Western Cape $z Western Cape $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Medical policy $z Western Cape $z Western Cape $v Case studies. 651 0 $a Western Cape (South Africa) $x Social conditions $v Case studies. 651 0 $a Western Cape (South Africa) $x Social policy $v Case studies. 650 6 $a Protection maternelle et infantile $z Le Cap-Occidental $z Le Cap-Occidental $v Etudes de cas. 650 6 $a Politique sanitaire $z Le Cap-Occidental $z Le Cap-Occidental $v Etudes de cas. 651 6 $a Le Cap-Occidental (Afrique du Sud) $x Conditions sociales $v Etudes de cas. 651 6 $a Le Cap-Occidental (Afrique du Sud) $x Politique sociale $v Etudes de cas. 650 7 $a Child health services $2 fast 650 7 $a Maternal and infant welfare $2 fast 650 7 $a Maternal health services $2 fast 650 7 $a Medical policy $2 fast 650 7 $a Social conditions $2 fast 650 7 $a Social policy $2 fast 651 7 $a South Africa $z Western Cape $2 fast 655 7 $a Case studies $2 fast 830 0 $a Medical anthropology (New Brunswick, N.J.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012643.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5DACFECC2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
