What is Bodies of Work A Meditation On Medical Imaginaries and Enslaved Women about?

This essay argues that the early clinical spaces created by the American medical men heralded as the founding fathers of American gynecology—including James Marion Sims and his colleague Nathan Bozeman—mark critical locations mapping slavery’s circuits of value production. Further, it troubles prevailing historiography of slavery and medicine by considering the repetitive representations of black women’s bodies as part of the reproductive work that they were called to do.
