The Ethos of Black Motherhood in America: Only White Women Get
Pregnant examines the ethos of Black and white mothers in America's
racialized society. Kimberly C. Harper argues that the current
Black maternal health crisis is not a new one, but an existing one
rooted in the disregard for Black wombs dating back to America's
history with chattel slavery. Examining the reproductive laws that
controlled the reproductive experiences of black women, Harper
provides a fresh insight into the "bad black mother" trope that
Black feminist scholars have theorized and argues that the
controlling images of black motherhood are a creation of the
American nation-state. In addition to a discussion of black
motherhood, Harper also explores the image of white motherhood as
the center of the landscape of motherhood. Scholars of
communication, gender studies, women's studies, history, and race
studies will find this book particularly useful.
