This collection of papers contains most of the papers that were delivered at the workshop on “Normality in Health and the Reproductive Body” at Northwestern in March 2001. The seminar was used to discuss individual research projects around convergences of thought on the theme at hand. In their present state, therefore, the papers represent works in progress. Most represented new and tentative thinking by authors; others reflected new developments of already-considered works, and most of the participants intend to research and develop their ideas further. Nonetheless, we agreed that the time was ripe to produce the papers, to enable the authors and the organizers to get feedback from a wider audience, and possibly (in some cases) invite collaboration with interested scholars. We appreciate the enormous support and contribution provided by the staff of the Program of African Studies and its Editorial Committee in producing this working paper. In particular, we wish to thank Jane I. Guyer and Akbar Virmani for their valuable support and consul throughout this project, David L. Schoenbrun for reading the entire manuscript, Mary Ebeling for her editorial expertise, and Emily Wonson, who orchestrated the logistics for the original conference. Needless to say, any lapses in documentation and the final presentation of this volume are the responsibility of the editor and contributors.
