Birthing a Slave: Motherhood and Medicine in the Antebellum South
Marie Jenkins Schwartz
This book depicts competing approaches to reproductive health on plantations in the antebellum South, as black women and white men sought to enhance the health of enslaved mothers. The first book to focus solely on the health care of enslaved women, it argues for the critical role of reproductive medicine in the slave system of antebellum America.
