Killing the black body
Book • 1997
This book chronicles the war against Black reproduction from slavery to the present day, exposing America’s systemic abuse of Black women’s bodies.
It covers topics such as the economic stake in enslaved women’s fertility, government programs that coerced sterilization, and the criminalization of parenting by poor Black women.
Roberts argues for a new standard of 'liberty' and 'equality' based on social and individual justice, emphasizing the need for government to foster these values.
