Although accounts of how race (and class) punctuated the elimination of African American midwives are well documented,6 this article further explores how downplaying the racial privilege of white midwives, medical personnel, and other figures in African American midwives' narratives has problematic implications for a contemporary midwifery movement that prides itself on inclusivity and its benefit to all women. INFLUENCES ON THE CONTEMPORARY MOVEMENT FOR MIDWIVES The continued emphasis on the narrative accounts of African American midwives within the history of not only midwifery in the United States but also African American culture and life opens up possibilities for important discussions of race and the effects of a legacy of racism that still affects contemporary midwives in thei...

The late 1960s- when dictatorship in Brazil still restricted and shaped activism, while feminism in the North was experiencing a revival, and new forms of global capital were on the roam- was one of these latter times.2 In 1969, the radical women's health movement had burst onto the scene in Boston, with the publication of Our Bodies, Our Selves, a health manual that sought to empower women by providing accessible information about their bodies.3 The movement affirmed the power of knowledge about the body and challenged its monopoly by medical "experts." By 2008, there were twentynine foreign language editions, as well as innumerable unofficial translations and adaptations of the original.'1 Travelers from the global South encountered flourishing women's health movements in Europe and ...

Every Sunday morning throughout his childhood, [Darren Perron] watched Charles Kuralt on "CBS News Sunday Morning" with his maternal grandfather, Howard Conley. The pair would sit enthralled as Küralt told tales of life in America through his "On the Road" segment. Even as a busy high schooler who served as class president and sat on "just about every kind of board," Perron never missed a show. "I was always captivated by people telling stories. You could tell Charles Kuralt was a good listener by the way he told a story," Perron says. While Perron's apparel isn't the reason for his promotion, it certainly didn't hurt matters. As news outlets nationwide struggle to reach and retain viewers, Perron's relative youth and style were pluses for the station. [Marselis Parsons], who still does...

Confounding the pundits and tapping in mass dissatisfaction and anger over the "Imperial Presidency" of eight years of George Bush and Dick Cheney the charismatic [Barack Obama] rode this wave of popular dissent that cut across all class, race and socio-economic lines to win the presidency by a large margin. I am also acutely aware that were it not for their struggles there would not have been a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a Malcolm X, a [Rosa Parks] and certainly not a Barack Obama. His achievement, a watershed moment, in the context of Black History is the culmination of years of constant and dedicated struggle that is not yet over in 2010. Certainly Barack Obama is making history as the United States celebrates black History Month. And he's not doing it simply as the first Black man...

THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. The abandoned product of a union between a G.I. and a Vietnamese girl, Binh is despised in post-war Vietnam for having "the face of the enemy." Spurred by a silly bit of plot device, the grown Binh, in 1990, makes the arduous journey to America, via the smuggled-labor route, in search of his father. There's much human suffering presented, yet Hans Fetter Moland's feature never seems to find an emotional foothold. It may be that Damien Nguyen's portrayal of the stoic Binh is too understated, or that Moland bumps his characters through repeated tragedies without ever stopping for reflection while the plot grows increasingly hackneyed. Binh's plight represents real histories, from the damage wreaked on children by war to the trafficking of human labor, but Moland's d...
