      abstract = {Reproducing Race, an ethnography of pregnancy and birth at  a large New York City public hospital, explores the role of  race in the medical setting. Khiara M. Bridges investigates  how race--commonly seen as biological in the medical  world--is socially constructed among women dependent on the  public healthcare system for prenatal care and childbirth.  Bridges argues that race carries powerful material  consequences for these women even when it is not explicitly  named, showing how they are marginalized by the practices  and assumptions of the clinic staff.},
