内容説明

The problem of drug use by pregnant women has been widely discussed and both social policy and legislation have been created in an attempt to deal with it. Using a black feminist analysis, this probing volume challenges these policies and laws, as well as much of the discussion, by examining the significant sexist, racist and class-based ideologies which underlie them.

目次

  • Introduction - Black feminist theory and methods in pursuit of social justice. Engendering Blame: Pregnancy, addiction, and neoconservative public discourse - creating the "crack mother"
  • Research, policy and the politicized womb
  • Understanding the genesis of the underweight "crack baby" - the link between inadequate access to prenatal care and low birth weight. New Ways to Frame the Problem: Confronting hostile environments - courageous women providing health and healing
  • Conclusion - a better way of thinking about maternal drug use.
