Birth Power Book Club: Birthing Justice

Join Dr. Alicia Bonaparte, a professor of sociology whose work focuses on medical sociology, especially reproductive health disparities.

Birthing Justice centers Black women’s voices in the urgent question of how to repair a maternal care system that continues to fail them. It highlights Black women’s leadership and agency as the driving force of the birth justice movement.

First published in 2016, Birthing Justice remains a foundational text for anyone working at the crossroads of maternal health, reproductive justice, health equity, and intersectional racial justice. It is widely used in gender studies, Black studies, public health, and in training for midwives and OB GYNs.
