"Grounded in political theory, Fatal Denial is a deeply interdisciplinary and passionately argued study of Black infant and maternal mortality. Menzel moves with grace from theories of biopolitics and racial innocence to historically textured accounts of Black infant mortality in the 19th to 21st centuries to careful readings of Black political thinkers like W.E.B. Du Bois and Mary Church Terrell. The epilogue on birth justice will make a major contribution to feminist theory."--Lawrie Balfour, author of Toni Morrison: Imagining Freedom "This is important work in critical race and feminist…mehr

"Grounded in political theory, Fatal Denial is a deeply interdisciplinary and passionately argued study of Black infant and maternal mortality. Menzel moves with grace from theories of biopolitics and racial innocence to historically textured accounts of Black infant mortality in the 19th to 21st centuries to careful readings of Black political thinkers like W.E.B. Du Bois and Mary Church Terrell. The epilogue on birth justice will make a major contribution to feminist theory."--Lawrie Balfour, author of Toni Morrison: Imagining Freedom "This is important work in critical race and feminist scholarship, and the manuscript is well situated within those fields while also offering an original perspective on them. The multifocal lens on Black infants, Black mothers, and Black midwives across the past 100 years is interesting and unique, making this book stand out."--Shannon Sullivan, author of White Privilege "Fatal Denial is an incredible achievement in understanding the biopolitics of Black infant mortality. Annie Menzel takes us to a place of no return, where racial innocence stands on trial for blaming Black mothers and infants for health disparities and mortality. There can be no denial that Black vulnerability insulates white privilege but what Menzel masterfully unpacks are the layers of history and policy that show how this privilege perpetuates Black infant mortality and is, in essence, a danger to Black life."--Dana-Ain Davis, author of Reproductive Injustice: Racism, Pregnancy, and Premature Birth
