Reviews

Kimberly C. Harper's The Ethos of Black Mothers in America is an essential study in the history and rhetoric of Black women's maternal health care. Harper shows how racist ideology has been rhetorically constructed in White political philosophy, legal decisions, and legislation. Further, she reveals the ways in which Black women have been silenced or unheard, unrepresented, or misrepresented in medical training and in popular pregnancy books. Harper opens a new domain for health communication, for feminist and womanist studies, and for social and racial justice research and education in the rhetoric and technical communication field. -- Gerald Savage, Illinois State University
