Reproductive Injustice: A Salon Honoring Dána-Ain Davis Dána-Ain Davis’ new book, Reproductive Injustice: Racism, Pregnancy, and Premature Birth, is a prescient investigation into the high rates of premature birth among black women. Davis finds that this problem is not explained by economic factors but rather by ideas about race and reproduction that are deeply rooted in the era of slavery. A study that aims to undo dangerous misconceptions that have life-or-death consequences, the book calls for an end to medical racism. Joining Davis for this discussion are reproductive justice experts, organizers, and scholars Toni Bond, Cara Page, and Dorothy Roberts.
