African American Midwifery in the South: Dialogues of Birth, Race, and Memory
Gertrude Jacinta Fraser
Fraser shows how physicians, public health personnel, and state legislators, beginning at the turn of the century, mounted a campaign ostensibly to improve maternal and infant health, especially in rural areas. They brought traditional midwives under the control of a supervisory body, and eventually eliminated them.
