2. Book Description
In 1973, the year the women's movement won an important symbolic victory with Roe v. Wade,
reports surfaced that twelve-year-old Minnie Lee Relf and her fourteen-year-old sister Mary Alice,
the daughters of black Alabama farm hands, had been sterilized without their or their parents'
knowledge or consent. Just as women's ability to control reproduction moved to the forefront of the
feminist movement, the Relf sisters' plight stood as a reminder of the ways in which the
movement's accomplishments had diverged sharply along racial lines. Thousands of forced
sterilizations were performed on black women during this period, convincing activists in the Black
Power, civil rights, and women's movements that they needed to address, pointedly, the racial
injustices surrounding equal access to reproductive labor and intimate life in America. As horrific
as the Relf tragedy was, it fit easily within a set of critical events within black women's sexual and
reproductive history in America, which black feminists argue began with coerced reproduction and
enforced child neglect in the period of enslavement.While reproductive rights activists and
organizations, historians, and legal scholars have all begun to grapple with this history and its
meaning, political theorists have yet to do so. Intimate Justice charts the long and still incomplete
path to black female intimate freedom and equality--a path marked by infanticides, sexual
terrorism, race riots, coerced sterilizations, and racially biased child removal policies. In order to
challenge prevailing understandings of freedom and equality, Shatema Threadcraft considers the
troubled status of black female intimate life during four moments: antebellum slavery,
Reconstruction, the nadir, and the civil rights and women's movement eras. Taking up important
and often overlooked aspects of the necessary conditions for justice, Threadcraft's book is a
compelling challenge to the meaning of equality in American race and gender relations.
