Review
"A powerful case for the importance of medical men and ideas in undergirding slavery and white supremacy."--Southern Spaces
"Marli F. Weiner takes up questions of the body, sex, and race with insight and sophistication, leading the reader through a persuasive reading of physicians' medical reasoning and political self-interest. She convincingly reveals physicians as major political actors in this period and shows how science underwrote the power of white men."--Steven M. Stowe, author of Doctoring the South: Southern Physicians and Everyday Medicine in the Mid-Nineteenth Century
"Imaginatively conceived and executed, Sex, Sickness, and Slavery provides a very interesting and useful view of antebellum Southern medical history. In doing so, she has given voice to whites and blacks, males and females, physicians and non-physicians in a way we have never heard before, leading to new insights into the complex relationships of medicine, slavery, and gender in the antebellum South."--Todd L. Savitt, author of Race and Medicine in Nineteenth- and early Twentieth-Century America
"This book is a valuable addition to existing scholarship on science, race, and sex. . . .Highly recommended."--Choice
