Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired Black Women's Health
Activism in America, 1890-1950 Susan Smith Winner of the 1996 The
Frances Richardson Keller-Sierra Prize from the Western Association
of Women Historians Winner of the 1997 Lavinia L. Dock Award from
the American Association for the History of Nursing "Susan Smith's
book addresses one of the most understudied aspects of African
American and American public health and medical history: the
emergence of black health activism in the United States. . . .
Drawing upon an impressive range of archival sources deposited at
historically black colleges, and upon interviews and oral
histories, Smith's case studies of the work of black midwives,
public health nurses, and sorority women support her argument that
black women played a key role in black health reform for much of
this century."--"Bulletin of the History of Medicine" "Sick and
Tired of Being Sick and Tired" moves beyond the depiction of
African Americans as mere recipients of aid or as victims of
neglect and highlights the ways black health activists created
public health programs and influenced public policy at every
opportunity. Smith also sheds new light on the infamous Tuskegee
syphilis experiment by situating it within the context of black
public health activity, reminding us that public health work had
oppressive as well as progressive consequences. Studies in Health,
Illness, and Caregiving 1995 288 pages 6 x 9 10 illus. ISBN
