Description: Very Good in Very Good jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Roberts traces the history of the American government's efforts to control the number of African American births from the time that prenatal babies were considered the property of slave owners, through the eugenics movement of the 1920's with coercive sterilization to periods as late as the 1970's where programs for women on welfare were coercive and often not fully disclosed. read more
