Birthing Justice - Black Women, Pregnancy, and Childbirth (2nd edition)

--Since the book’s initial publication, the crisis in Black maternal health has garnered national attention, due to social media and grassroots campaigns and successful legislative activism by the national Black Mamas Matter Alliance, by President-elect Kamala Harris, and others. --Today, as the movement gains momentum, birth justice is part of a larger conversation about pregnant people’s right to choose whether or not to carry a pregnancy, and to choose when, where, how, and with whom to birth—especially in the wake of Trump era rollbacks. --The book is prized in the classroom due to its accessibility, gripping narratives, and innovation in policy and practice. --The book is written in an engaging style that appeals to a lay audience. Women’s stories and personal testimonies provide an accessible entry point, and the scholarly pieces are written in non-jargonistic language. Pregnant people buy many books on what to expect in their pregnancy and birth, and how to have a positive birth experience. Black women in particular are looking for Black perspectives within this genre.
