Kimberly C. Harper contends that the ongoing Black maternal health crisis is not a novel phenomenon but rather a longstanding issue rooted in the disregard for Black wombs dating back to America's history with chattel slavery. By examining the reproductive laws that governed the reproductive experiences of Black women, Harper offers a fresh perspective on the pervasive \"bad black mother\" trope that Black feminist scholars have theorized. Furthermore, Harper challenges the notion that controlling images of Black motherhood are solely the product of the American nation-state. In addition to exploring Black motherhood, the book also examines the image of white motherhood as the focal point of the motherhood landscape. This book will be of great interest to scholars in communication, gender studies, women's studies, history, and race studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 245g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 219 x 154 x 12 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793601445\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kimberly C.
