Race --Epilogue --Notes --Bibliography --IndexReproducing Race, an ethnography of pregnancy and birth at a large New York City public hospital, explores the role of race in the medical setting. Khiara M. Bridges investigates how race-commonly seen as biological in the medical world-is socially constructed among women dependent on the public healthcare system for prenatal care and childbirth. Bridges argues that race carries powerful material consequences for these women even when it is not explicitly named, showing how they are marginalized by the practices and assumptions of the clinic staff. Deftly weaving ethnographic evidence into broader discussions of Medicaid and racial disparities in infant and maternal mortality, Bridges shines new light on the politics of healthcare for the poor, demonstrating how the "medicalization" of social problems reproduces racial stereotypes and governs the bodies of poor women of color.HospitalsMaternity servicesNew York (State)New YorkDiscrimination in medical careNew York (State)New YorkMinoritiesMedical careNew York (State)New Yorkamerica.biology of race.childbirth.ethnographers.ethnography.expecting mothers.infant mortality.marginalized women.maternal mortality.medicaid.medical setting.new york city.politics of healthcare.poor women.pregnancy.pregnant women.prenatal care.public healthcare system.public hospital.racial inequality.racial issues.racialization.role of race.social constructions.social inequality.social problems.us healthcare.women of color.womens issues.HospitalsMaternity servicesDiscrimination in medical careMinoritiesMedical care362.19/8200974771.62bcl73.06bclBridges Khiara M1695710MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809058303321Reproducing race4075140UNINA
