Pregnant While Black

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Pregnant while Black takes an unflinching look at a problem that's right before our eyes--the inequitable treatment of Black women who become mothers. Dr. Rainford untangles the multiple social, cultural, political, and racial threads that lead to poorer maternal and fetal outcomes in Black women across American, no matter what their educational attainment or economic level.... It's a critical step in calling out the problems of systemic racism in maternal health care and finding solutions to this deplorable situation.”
