The Ethos of Black Motherhood in America: Only White Women Get Pregnant examines the ethos of Black and white mothers in Americas racialized society. Kimberly C. Harper argues that the current Black maternal health crisis is not a new one, but an existing one rooted in the disregard for Black wombs dating back to Americas history with chattel slavery. Examining the reproductive laws that controlled the reproductive experiences of black women, Harper provides a fresh insight into the bad black mother trope that Black feminist scholars have theorized and argues that the controlling images of black motherhood are a creation of the American nation-state. In addition to a discussion of black motherhood, Harper also explores the image of white motherhood as the center of the landscape of motherhood. Scholars of communication, gender studies, womens studies, history, and race studies will find this book particularly useful.Kimberly C. Harper is assistant professor and associate chair of English and director of technical writing at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.Book specifications:Collection: Lexington Studies in Health CommunicationDimensions: 229 x 152Author: Kimberly C.
