Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This paper consists of a series of interviews '…with
mothers who had recently left an agrarian village setting in Mexico, a high birth-high
death nation, and entered the urban industrial setting of Houston, an intermediate birth
and death setting. The manner in which this migration affected their infant feeding
practices is traced, and the implications for explaining the social class patterning of
breast-feeding behavior are developed' (p. 66).
