À propos de cet audio
This is a no-holds-barred response to the liberal and conservative retreat from an assertive, activist, and socially transformative civil rights agenda of recent years - using a Black feminist lens and the issue of the impact of recent legislation, social policy, and welfare "reform" on Black women's - especially poor Black women's - control over their bodies' autonomy and their freedom to bear and raise children with respect and dignity in a society whose White mainstream is determined to demonize, even criminalize their lives. It gives its listeners a cogent legal and historical argument for a radically new, and socially transformative, definition of "liberty" and "equality" for the American polity from a Black feminist perspective.

"Brilliant, controversial, and profoundly valuable.... An important stepping-stone toward transforming the way black women and their children are treated in America.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Chilling.... It becomes difficult to reject the author’s thesis.... that there is a sustained, and in some quarters deliberate, campaign to punish Black women - especially the poor - for having children.” (The National Law Journal)
“An important and riveting book that skillfully and compellingly explains contemporary challenges to reproductive freedom.” (Patricia Hill Collins, author of Black Feminist Thought)
