As a scholar (Rickie) and an activist (Loretta), we believe that we have made a book that will contribute to the exciting upsurge of reproductive justice activism and scholarship. We have read each other’s articles and books and followed each other’s work for years with respect and admiration. Making this book has deepened both our regard for each other and our commitment to the principles of reproductive justice. We chose to write this book in the form of a primer because it is an explanation of the basic elements of our subject. Reproduc- tive Justice: An Introduction off ers an expansive explanation of reproductive justice so that readers can learn about this creative vision for achieving human rights protections. The primer will also help readers understand how reproductive justice is signifi - cantly diff erent from the pro-choice/antiabortion debates that have dominated the headlines and mainstream political confl ict for so long. 1 2 / Introduction loretta For years, as a human rights and reproductive rights activist, I have needed historical and sociological information and analysis to support my work. But I have had a hard time fi nding studies of reproduction in America that did not marginalize women of color. Most of the work by white writers supplied few, if any, perspec- tives on women of color, quite often treating them as afterthoughts instead of putting their stories anywhere near the center of the narrative. As a Black feminist, I am committed to focusing on the powerful role of colonialism and white supremacy in determining reproductive destinies. Without these perspectives, a great many historical treatments leave almost everything unexplained. I value Rickie’s work because for more than twenty-fi ve years, she has produced deep, analytical writing about the intersection of race, gender, sovereignty, and class. As a world-class historian, she carefully details the experiences of women of color facing politi- cal, economic, and cultural forces inimical to the concept of reproductive freedom and autonomy. When Rickie invited me to write this primer with her, I trusted that together we could off er this emerging knowledge about reproductive justice in its most powerful form, with lucidity, authenticity, and an incisive critique of white supremacy and capitalism. Presenting and preserving our two voices in this project was a challenge and a joy. Because I was present when the reproduc- tive justice framework was created, I off er a fi rst-person voice and more than two decades of experience promoting this new vision for reproductive activism. My years as one of the leaders of SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective gave me the opportunity to witness the excitement of building a new movement centered on the needs of women of color grap- Introduction / 3 pling with issues of pregnancy, birth, abortion, and parenting. This radical, fresh vision brought thousands of new voices into the movement. The reproductive justice vision spread out like exploding fi reworks to touch off new understandings of the intersections of many issues in the lives of women of color. Rickie’s voice is that of a disciplined and compassionate his- torian. She bravely reinterprets historical facts, paying attention to voices and perspectives of those most marginalized by privilege and power. Her precise language and attention to detail off er an authoritative example of what history looks like when the lives of marginalized women are centered in the lens. rickie Writing Reproductive Justice: An Introduction with Loretta is the culmination of my work as a historian of reproductive politics in the United States. I have been writing books for decades, pre- paring myself, without even quite knowing it, for this collabora- tion. My books have been serial eff orts to answer the same group of questions: Who gets to be a “legitimate” mother in the United States? (And who do authorities consider “legitimately” sexual?) Who is denied maternal legitimacy? What do race and class have to do with “legitimate” and “illegitimate” maternity? What do the government, the church, the community, and the family have to do with deciding and enforcing answers to these ques- tions? How have answers changed over time? And perhaps most important, how does the maternal “legitimacy” of some persons depend on and guarantee the illegitimacy of others? For example, for decades, TV shows, movies, and other cultural expressions typically portrayed white, middle-class, heterosexual, 4 / Introduction married women as the mothers we all want to be and to have: “legitimate” mothers. So what are Americans to think about per- sons who do not have all of these assets and resources to bring to motherhood? Our political culture conditions us to regard these mothers as inappropriate, “illegitimate” mothers in comparison. It underwrites the idea that motherhood is a class privilege, properly reserved only for women with enough money to give their chil- dren “all the advantages,” a deeply antidemocratic idea. Here we can see how the nobility of white, middle-class maternity depends on the defi nition of others as unfi t, degraded, and illegitimate. In turn, poor mothers have been branded illegitimate because they do not have the resources that middle-class mothers do. When I became aware of Loretta’s work and the intersec- tional, reproductive justice analysis she was developing along with others, I knew that my work was fi nally “at home.” Listening to Loretta’s lectures, reading her work, and paying attention to the arena she was helping to defi ne added up to an intellectual and political home base for me and my work in a way that the disciplines of history and women’s studies have not been. An intellectual and political location that draws on human rights, justice, lived experience, uncompromising analysis, and straight- forward language feels like the sturdiest, truest place to work. As a white, Jewish teenager learning about the Holocaust, I began to learn about other brutal histories of dispossession and degradation, cultural destruction, and death. I began to learn at the same time, through the civil rights movement, what fi ghting for dignity looks like and about the power of voice. Since that time, I have looked at champions of resistance as models. Loretta has been an extremely important teacher and model for me for two decades, articulating a constructive, human-rights-based politics of resistance that envisions the dignity and safety and Introduction / 5 meaningfulness of each person’s life. This opportunity I’ve had—to be an ally—has been profoundly important, helping me to see the deep connection between developing respect for oth- ers and oneself. • • • We begin this book with a history of reproductive politics in the United States because as reproductive justice activists and schol- ars, we understand that the past explains a great deal about the present and also shapes the future. When politicians, judges, and policy makers make decisions that aff ect our lives, for example, by enacting or upholding laws that restrict access to various kinds of reproductive health care, they are building on the past. The Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion, profoundly curtails a poor woman’s decision making in ways that are consistent with—and further encode—older laws, policies, and social norms that aimed to deny reproductive dig- nity to poor women.

Most of the iconic photographs of the twentieth century were produced by photojournalists and published in mass circulation newspapers and magazines. In the twenty–first century, amateurs have greater access to image producing technologies and greater capacity to disseminate their images through the Internet. This situation has made possible the use of iconic news images to support political agendas other than those promoted in the media institutions and beyond the range of censorship imposed by those media. In order to demonstrate the functions and understand this unprecedented situation, this thesis explores how iconic news images produce meaning. I consider formal definitions of iconic news images but adopt Nicholas Mirzoeff's theory of the visual event to explain how the meanings of iconic news images are impacted by historical context, media institutions and viewer responses. This dynamic model of visual communication allows us to see that iconic news images indeed function as events and that there is a political struggle over the creation, staging, publication and interpretation of those events.

  • Construction of Racial and Math Learner Identities in Eight African American Adolescents at Flower Academy
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: EMBRACING MATHEMATICS IDENTITY IN AN AFRICAN-CENTERED SCHOOL: CONSTRUCTION AND INTERACTION OF RACIAL AND MATHEMATICAL STUDENT IDENTITIES Farhaana Nyamekye, Ph.D, 2010 Directed By: Associate Professor of Mathematics Education, Daniel Chazan, Curriculum and Instruction This dissertation is a report of a multiple case study of eight seventh grade African American students attending an African-centered school. This African-centered school is attended solely by children of African descent and adheres to a system of African cultural values, focusing on culture, relationships, and academic excellence. The report provides in depth case analyses of two of these students as they navigate their multiple identities. The foci of the analyses are on the students‟ construction of their math learner identities and racial identities and on their construction of both of these identities taken together. Phenomenological variant of ecological systems theory illuminates the challenges and supports that these students encounter in constructing their identities. The mathematics and racial socialization practices within the school and within the students‟ home environments are documented within this report as support mechanisms that provide opportunities for the students to construct identities as African American mathematics learners. The findings suggest that academic spaces that reduce the stress of racism and help students to value their racial identity may be particularly important spaces for other African American mathematics learners. The findings also have positive implications for the implementation of African and African American cultural practices and programs that can help other African American learners to positively construct identities as both African Americans and math learners. The documented findings raise critical questions about whether other African American learners, despite the heterogeneity within this population, would benefit from African-centered schooling.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF INDIANA AND KENTUCKY, INC., ET AL. ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT No. 18–483. Decided May 28, 2019 PER CURIAM. Indiana’s petition for certiorari argues that the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit incorrectly invalidated two new provisions of Indiana law: the first relating to the disposition of fetal remains by abortion providers; and the second barring the knowing provision of sex-, race-, or disability-selective abortions by abortion providers. See Ind. Code §§16−34−2−1.1(a)(1)(K), 16−34−3−4(a), 16−34− 4−4, 16−34−4−5, 16−34−4−6, 16−34−4−7, 16−34− 4−8, 16−41−16−4(d), 16−41−16−5 (2018). We reverse the judgment of the Seventh Circuit with respect to the first question presented, and we deny the petition with respect to the second question presented. I The first challenged provision altered the manner in which abortion providers may dispose of fetal remains. Among other changes, it excluded fetal remains from the definition of infectious and pathological waste, §§16−41−16−4(d), 16−41−16−5, thereby preventing incin- eration of fetal remains along with surgical byproducts. It also authorized simultaneous cremation of fetal remains, §16−34−3−4(a), which Indiana does not generally allow for human remains, §23−14−31−39(a).
