This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Enriches and complicates African American and women’s history by connecting threads of race, gender, class, and region.” —Darlene Clark Hine, John A. Hannah Professor of History, Michigan State University Winner of the Liz Carpenter Award from the Texas State Historical Association Women of all colors have shaped families, communities, institutions, and societies throughout history, but only in recent decades have their contributions been widely recognized, described, and celebrated. This book presents the first comprehensive history of Black Texas women, a previously neglected group whose 150 years of continued struggle and some successes against the oppression of racism and sexism deserve to be better known and understood. Beginning with slave and free women of color during the Texas colonial period and concluding with contemporary women who serve in the Texas legislature and the United States Congress, Ruthe Winegarten organizes her history both chronologically and topically. Her narrative sparkles with the life stories of individual women and their contributions to the work force, education, religion, the club movement, community building, politics, civil rights, and culture. The product of extensive archival and oral research and illustrated with over 200 photographs, this groundbreaking work will be equally appealing to general readers and to scholars of women’s history, black history, American studies, and Texas history. “Occasionally a book comes along that is monumental in scope, overwhelming in amount of research, and so powerful in its impact as to be categorized at once as a lasting contribution to our knowledge of humankind. Black Texas Women is one of those rare books.” —The Journal of American History

Download or read book The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist written by Radley Balko and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shocking and deeply reported account of the persistent plague of institutional racism and junk forensic science in our criminal justice system, and its devastating effect on innocent lives After two three-year-old girls were raped and murdered in rural Mississippi, law enforcement pursued and convicted two innocent men: Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks. Together they spent a combined thirty years in prison before finally being exonerated in 2008. Meanwhile, the real killer remained free. The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist recounts the story of how the criminal justice system allowed this to happen, and of how two men, Dr. Steven Hayne and Dr. Michael West, built successful careers on the back of that structure. For nearly two decades, Hayne, a medical examiner, performed the vast majority of Mississippi's autopsies, while his friend Dr. West, a local dentist, pitched himself as a forensic jack-of-all-trades. Together they became the go-to experts for prosecutors and helped put countless Mississippians in prison. But then some of those convictions began to fall apart. Here, Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington tell the haunting story of how the courts and Mississippi's death investigation system -- a relic of the Jim Crow era -- failed to deliver justice for its citizens. The authors argue that bad forensics, structural racism, and institutional failures are at fault, raising sobering questions about our ability and willingness to address these crucial issues.
Download or read book Anti Aging Dentistry written by Felix Kunze and published by Anti-Aging Dentistry. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Kourosh Maddahi, DDS has been a pioneer in Cosmetic Dentistry for close to 3 decades, and now, with his new guide to the all-new sub-field of Anti-Aging Dentistry, he's continued the trend. Dr Maddahi reveals in his first book ever; Anti-Aging Dentistry, Restoring Youth, One Smile at a Time, some of the great mysteries associated with aging in the lower 1/3 of the face, not just inside the mouth, but in the lips, cheeks, and jaw. He walks the reader through a step-by-step analysis of these largely misunderstood abnormalities that have been previously regarded as unfixable by medical or cosmetic procedures, and explains how it is expertly placed porcelain veneers and crowns that can rectify them, not injectables and facelifts. These revolutionary procedures have caught fire in the press and medical industries alike, and are now laid out for anyone to understand and gage the value of them, by the leader in the field. This clear, concise manual is just what the doctor ordered in the road to understanding what it is that changes our faces as we age, and how we can prevent or reverse what we've been told is inevitable; looking older.
Download or read book Education and Selected Practice Characteristics of Black Dentists written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Selected Practice Characteristics of Black Dentists: Final Report A statistical study which examined the progression of blacks from application to dental school through entry into dentistry upon graduation was conducted. The project included identifying relevant data sources, documenting data from these sources that relate to issues about black dentists, merging and constructing relevant data into work files for statistical analyses, and conducting analysis of the dental education of blacks and some characteristics of black dentists. The statistical analysis focused on the progression of blacks from prior to application to dental school including family characteristics, high school and pre-dental school characteristics; to application to dental school; to enrollment in dental school; to graduation from dental school; and, to practice, specialty, and location characteristics. This progression by black dentists is also depicted in Figure 1. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Medical Bondage written by Deirdre Cooper Owens and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accomplishments of pioneering doctors such as John Peter Mettauer, James Marion Sims, and Nathan Bozeman are well documented. It is also no secret that these nineteenth-century gynecologists performed experimental caesarean sections, ovariotomies, and obstetric fistula repairs primarily on poor and powerless women. Medical Bondage breaks new ground by exploring how and why physicians denied these women their full humanity yet valued them as “medical superbodies” highly suited for medical experimentation. In Medical Bondage, Cooper Owens examines a wide range of scientific literature and less formal communications in which gynecologists created and disseminated medical fictions about their patients, such as their belief that black enslaved women could withstand pain better than white “ladies.” Even as they were advancing medicine, these doctors were legitimizing, for decades to come, groundless theories related to whiteness and blackness, men and women, and the inferiority of other races or nationalities. Medical Bondage moves between southern plantations and northern urban centers to reveal how nineteenth-century American ideas about race, health, and status influenced doctor-patient relationships in sites of healing like slave cabins, medical colleges, and hospitals. It also retells the story of black enslaved women and of Irish immigrant women from the perspective of these exploited groups and thus restores for us a picture of their lives.
