Progressive Mothers, Better Babies
In Bahia, Brazil, the decades following emancipation saw the rise of reformers who sought to reshape the citizenry by educating Bahian women in methods for raising “better babies.” The idealized Brazilian would be better equipped to contribute to the labor and organizational needs of a modern nation. Backed by many physicians, politicians, and intellectuals, the resulting welfare programs for mothers and children mirrored complex debates about Brazilian nationality. Examining the local and national contours of this movement, Progressive Mothers, Better Babies investigates families, medical institutions, state-building, and social stratification to trace the resulting policies, which gath...
The Yellow Demon of Fever
A pathbreaking history of how participants in the slave trade influenced the growth and dissemination of medical knowledge As the slave trade brought Europeans, Africans, and Americans into contact, diseases were traded along with human lives. Manuel Barcia examines the battle waged against disease, where traders fought against loss of profits while enslaved Africans fought for survival. Although efforts to control disease and stop epidemics from spreading brought little success, the medical knowledge generated by people on both sides of the conflict contributed to momentous change in the medical cultures of the Atlantic world.

Affect, Gender and Sexuality in Latin America
This book emphasizes the significance of affects, feelings and emotions in how we think about politics, gender and sexuality in Latin America. Considering the complex and even contradictory social processes that the region is experiencing today, many Latin American authors are turning to affect to find a key to understand our present situation, to revisit our history, and to imagine new possibilities for the future. This tendency has shown such a specificity and sometimes departure from northern productions that it compels us to focus more deeply on its own arguments, methods, and critical contributions. This volume features essays that explore the particularities of Latin American ways of thinking about affect and how they can shed new light into our understanding of, gender, sexuality and politics.

Motherhood, Childlessness and the Care of Children in Atlantic Slave Societies
This book provides critical perspectives on the multiple forms of ‘mothering’ that took place in Atlantic slave societies. Facing repeated child death, mothering was a site of trauma and grief for many, even as slaveholders romanticized enslaved women’s work in caring for slaveholders' children. Examining a wide range of societies including medieval Spain, Brazil, and New England, and including the work of historians based in Brazil, Cuba, the United States, and Britain, this collection breaks new ground in demonstrating the importance of mothering for the perpetuation of slavery, and the complexity of the experience of motherhood in such circumstances. This pathbreaking collection, on all aspects of the experience, politics, and representations of motherhood under Atlantic slavery, analyses societies across the Atlantic world, and will be of interest to those studying the history of slavery as well as those studying mothering throughout history. This book comprises two special issues, originally published in Slavery & Abolition and Women’s History Review.

Ser mãe é f*d@!
Amo meu filho, detesto ser mãe. Em anos recentes, mulheres têm acionado as mídias sociais para debaterem uma série de problemáticas relacionadas à vivência feminina, à maternidade e à não maternidade. Demandas, contradições, piadas, desabafos, críticas, incentivos, disputas, conselhos, denúncias, ironias e gentilezas se emaranham das postagens às seções de comentários. A pesquisadora e escritora Ana Luiza de Figueiredo Souza mergulhou (e permanece mergulhada) nesse fenômeno para investigar os movimentos históricos por trás dele, quais conjunturas políticas, econômicas, socioculturais e tecnológicas permitem que ele aconteça, junto a atritos e redes de apoio que surgem entre mulheres com posicionamentos e trajetórias distintas. Baseado em pesquisa vencedora do Prêmio Compós e na própria atuação em campo da pesquisadora, o livro apresenta um original e necessário panorama sobre as tensões que perpassam a delicada — e não por isso menos intensa — relação entre mulheres com ou sem filhos e aquilo que foi construído como destino de todas elas: a maternidade.
