We are excited to announce that the second edition of  Birthing Justice: Black Women, Pregnancy and Childbirth has been published! With Black maternal health high on legislators' agendas, and Black pregnant people impacted by COVID-19, this is a critical time for the book to be updated.The second edition of this pathbreaking, widely taught book offers six new chapters, on breastfeeding and Black infant health; Black birthing during COVID; Black doulas rethinking birthing practices; the recent buildup of a US national movement; childbirth in Zanzibar; and expanding the global movement for sexual and reproductive well-being. Some new authors include: Joia Crear-Perry, Kimberly Seals Allers, Elizabeth Dawes-Gay, Sayida Peprah-Wilson, Monica McLemore, Linda Jones and Michelle Drew. Other chapters are updated throughout. Birthing Justice puts Black women’s voices at the center of the debate on what should be done to fix the broken maternal care system. It foregrounds Black women’s agency in the birth justice movement. First published in 2016, Birthing Justice is a seminal text for those interested in maternal healthcare, reproductive justice, health equity, and intersectional racial justice, especially in courses on gender studies, Black studies, public health, and training programs for midwives and OB/GYNs.
