Clock-time discipline, hierarchical divisions of labor, and the scientific authority of numbers, as filtered through accounting technologies like the plantation ledger, helped planters see enslaved people's health in seemingly precise terms of time, productivity, and race. In this cruelly meticulous system, some elite physicians saw a potential scientific foundation for medicine. Using plantation business records, agricultural trade periodicals, physician correspondence, medical publications, and memoirs, this article examines plantation management of enslaved health; physician appreciation of its quantitative, supposedly rigorous methods; and the intersections of management science and racial science in physician writing, where there were noticeable differences between Louisiana and Cuba. Physicians in both places believed that, under judicious management, Black people's bodies were naturally inclined to productivity, but in Cuba, there were different degrees of Blackness that needed to be taken into consideration.</p>","PeriodicalId":55304,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the History of Medicine","volume":"99 2","pages":"287-315"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144979640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of illegal abortions in pre-Roe South Carolina demonstrates that abortion providers, and especially Black laywomen providers, not only depended on but actively nurtured centuries of intergenerational knowledge of abortion techniques and tools.

In the nineteenth-century United States, physicians studied newborns with major anatomical differences as \"medical specimens of monstrosity,\" asserting a singular authority over knowledge of bodies and reproduction. However, this essay shows that in practice medical knowledge-making entailed an interactive, socially embedded process that intimately engaged laywomen's perceptions, ideas, and understanding. By narrating and interpreting their lived experiences of pregnancy, women participated in determining the causes and meanings of anomalous births-even as hierarchies of gender, race, class, and citizenship conditioned and constrained this participation. Through an imaginative reading of case reports, this essay foregrounds the significance of diverse laywomen's social, affective, and embodied lives in historical practices of medical meaning-making. At the same time, it offers insight into how predominantly white male medical professionals increasingly sought to establish authority over women's reproduction.</p>","PeriodicalId":55304,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the History of Medicine","volume":"99 2","pages":"316-346"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144979549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
