In *Reproducing Race*, Khiara M. Bridges examines how race is socially constructed in medical settings, particularly in the context of pregnancy and childbirth.
Through ethnographic research at a large New York City public hospital, she highlights how racial stereotypes influence medical decisions and impact the experiences of women, especially those dependent on public healthcare.
The book delves into topics such as stratified reproduction and the racialization of disease.
