Birthing a slave : motherhood and medicine in the antebellum South / Marie Jenkins Schwartz.

• Procreation -- Healers -- Fertility -- Pregnancy -- Childbirth -- Postnatal complications -- Gynecological surgery -- Cancer and other tumors -- Freedwomen's health.

• "The deprivations and cruelty of slavery have overshadowed our understanding of the institution's most human dimension: birth. We often don't realize that after the United States stopped importing slaves in 1808, births were more important than ever; slavery and the southern way of life could continue only through babies born into bondage. Birthing a slave depicts the competing approaches to reproductive health that evolved on plantations, as both black women and white men sought to enhance the health of enslaved mothers--in very different ways and for entirely different reasons."--Page 4 of cover.
