Motherhood is a subject that has largely been ignored by
archaeologists who focus on gender and history-until now. Using
archaeological materials recovered from a housesite in Mobile,
Alabama, Laurie Wilkie explores how one extended African-American
family engaged with competing and conflicting mothering ideologies
in the post-Emancipation South. The female head of this household,
Lucrecia Perryman, turned to midwifery to support her family and as
a midwife, became a vehicle for transmitting cultural, social and
political knowledge regarding mothering performance and practice to
the broader African-American community.
