LitHub: Reckoning with the History of Medical Racism
Dolen Perkins-Valdez Recommends Books That Spotlight the Colonization and Control of Black Bodies
Kaplan is the new Executive Director of American University’s Antiracism Research and Policy Center, a position previously held by Ibram Kendi. This recent book brings a literary and cultural analysis to the history of reproductive injustice, by juxtaposing historical literary texts with contemporary narratives. I am particularly intrigued by how novelists have contended with this racialized and gendered history.
