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. 606 $aHospitals$xMaternity services$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aDiscrimination in medical care$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aMinorities$xMedical care$zNew York (State)$zNew York 610 $aamerica. 610 $abiology of race. 610 $achildbirth. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aethnography. 610 $aexpecting mothers. 610 $ainfant mortality. 610 $amarginalized women. 610 $amaternal mortality. 610 $amedicaid. 610 $amedical setting. 610 $anew york city. 610 $apolitics of healthcare. 610 $apoor women. 610 $apregnancy. 610 $apregnant women. 610 $aprenatal care. 610 $apublic healthcare system. 610 $apublic hospital. 610 $aracial inequality. 610 $aracial issues. 610 $aracialization. 610 $arole of race. 610 $asocial constructions. 610 $asocial inequality. 610 $asocial problems. 610 $aus healthcare. 610 $awomen of color. 610 $awomens issues. 615 0$aHospitals$xMaternity services 615 0$aDiscrimination in medical care 615 0$aMinorities$xMedical care 676 $a362.19/82009747 686 $a71.62$2bcl 686 $a73.06$2bcl 700 $aBridges$b Khiara M$01695710 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809058303321 996 $aReproducing race$94075140 997 $aUNINA
