We are living at a time in human history where the unthinkable has become reality, as the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, which derails hard-won reproductive freedoms, makes glaringly obvious. Against this backdrop, Jennifer Nash's Birthing Black Mothers is a timely and important contribution to the literature on reproductive politics in America. Nash draws attention to the public dimension and civic potential of Black American cis maternal grief that coalesces around the joint crises of infant and maternal morbidity, incarceration, and death. In the process, Nash deftly interweaves events, campaigns, controversies, and actions that captured the public imagination and went viral on social media, making this book a rewarding and relevant offering, as useful for scholars and lecturers as for lay publics.

书评：詹妮弗·C·纳什 (Jennifer C. Nash) 的《生下黑人母亲》

我们生活在人类历史上不可思议的事情已经成为现实的时代，正如最高法院推翻Roe v. Wade案的裁决一样，该裁决破坏了来之不易的生殖自由，这一点显而易见。在这种背景下，詹妮弗·纳什的Birthing Black Mothers是对美国生殖政治文献的及时而重要的贡献。纳什提请注意美国黑人顺式母亲悲伤的公共维度和公民潜力，这种悲伤围绕婴儿和母亲发病率、监禁和死亡的联合危机而结合。在此过程中，纳什巧妙地将事件、运动、争议和行动交织在一起，这些事件、活动、争议和行动吸引了公众的想象力并在社交媒体上广为传播，使这本书成为一种有益的、相关的产品，对学者和讲师以及对普通公众都有用。
