摘要

宗教和医学学者讨论了科学分娩的兴起,同时也抓住了美国南部黑人助产士的宗教意义。然而,他们很少讨论新教和非裔美国人新教在20世纪国家资助的黑人妇女助产项目中的地位。本文以北佛罗里达的1945-1946年利昂县“改善助产士服务计划”为重点,讨论州卫生工作者如何促进黑人宗教,以确定黑人妇女在其社区中从事助产工作的道德适应性。黑人宗教被纳入了健康国家的管理计划。本文利用国家档案中的原始文件,通过证明非裔美国人新教是国家卫生机构不可或缺的一部分,并因此在大萧条和第二次世界大战期间被用于为黑人社区提供现代产科的权威,从而增加了非裔美国人宗教和医学的历史。

“Fit to Be a Midwife”: Protestantism, Moral Character, and the State Supervision of Black Lay Midwives, 1931–1946
ABSTRACT Scholars of religion and medicine have discussed the rise of scientific birthing while also capturing the significance of religion among Black midwives in the American South. Yet they have seldom discussed the place of Protestantism and African American Protestantism in state-sponsored midwifery programs for Black women in the twentieth century. This essay focuses on the 1945–1946 Leon County “Plan for Improving the Midwife Service Program” in North Florida to argue how state health workers promoted Black religion to determine the moral fitness of Black women to practice midwifery in their communities. Black religion was incorporated into the regulatory scheme of the health state. Using primary documents from state archives, this paper adds to the history of African American religion and medicine by demonstrating that African American Protestantism was integral to the state health apparatus and consequently used to legitimate the authority of modern obstetrics for Black communities in the Depression and World War II periods.
