1. Killing The Black Body
Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty
This book is a critical examination of the ways in which the reproductive rights of African American women have been controlled and violated throughout American history. It delves into the intersection of race, gender, and class, revealing how black women's bodies have been subjected to coercive policies and practices, from the era of slavery to contemporary issues of forced sterilization and unequal access to reproductive healthcare. The work challenges readers to confront the systemic racism embedded in America's reproductive policies and to recognize the ongoing struggle for autonomy and justice faced by black women in the realm of reproductive freedom.
