Black Middle-Class Women and Pregnancy Loss: A Qualitative Inquiry
is the first qualitative research case study of its kind on Black
Infant Mortality (BIM) to focus on a target group of black
American-born middle-class professional married women who have all
lived through the experience of infant loss. This target group
allows Lisa Paisley-Cleveland to examine the BIM phenomenon outside
the poverty paradigm and issues attached to teenage pregnancy, as
well as to explore contributing factors attached to the persistent
black and white disparity in infant mortality rates, which
according to CDC s January 2013 report are 12.40 and 5.35
respectively. This book raised the following question: given the
disparity in the infant mortality rates among middle-class black
and white women, are there factors attached to the pregnancy
experience of middle-class black women that could help us
understand the adverse birth outcomes for this target group? While
investigating the answer to this question, Paisley-Cleveland
provides readers entry into the pregnancy experiences of eight
women from pregnancy planning to infant loss, and the book examines
feelings, events, circumstances, interactions, behaviors, culture
and history embedded in their pregnancy stories to explicate
possible factors connected to adverse birth outcomes. It links the
women s personal stories to clinical, and psychosocial factors,
placing their experiences at the center of the research, and
demystifying assumptions. The study s narratives and conclusions
are built into a literary structure which helps to make a complex
subject relatable and understandable to a wide audience. Black
Middle-Class Women and Pregnancy Loss will be an invaluable
resource for medical professionals; professionals in public health,
mental health, and social work; sociologists; and anyone working or
invested in women's health.
