Description
AnbspMs Magazinenbsp8220Most Anticipated
Feminist Book of 20238221After a
less-than-positive experience giving birth as a
Black woman in the 1970s, Linda Janet Holmes
launched a lifetime of work as an activist
dedicated to learning about and honoring
alternative birth traditions and the Black women
behind them.nbspSaf in a
Midwife8217sHandsnbspbrigs together what
Holmes has gleaned from the countless midwives
who have shared with her their experiences, at a
time when their knowledge and holistic approaches
are essential counterbalances to a medical system
that routinely fails Black mothers and babies.
Building on work she began in the 1980s, when she
interviewed traditional Black midwives in Alabama
and Virginia, Holmes traveled to Ghana, Ethiopia,
and Kenya to visit midwives there. In detailing
their work, from massage to the uses of medicinal
plants to naming ceremonies, she links their
voices to those of midwives and doulas in the US.
She thus illuminates parallels between
birthing traditions that have survived hundreds
of years of colonialism, enslavement, Jim Crow,
and ongoing medical racism to persist as vital
cultural practices that promote healthy outcomes
for mothers and babies during pregnancy,
birth, and beyond.
