Midwifery’s Afrakan ancestral legacy, wesern discourse and reclamation.

Sankofa Ra*

Midwifery’s Afrakan ancestral legacy, western discourse and reclamation. It is a restorative address to the removal of the traditional black midwife sprouting a chronic, degenerative, invisible, cultural infection that has for 100 years produced infant and maternal mortality rates within the Afrakan American community disportionately superseding all other ethnic groups in the United States. Contemporary scientific definition and comprehension of midwifery is a projection of the white male social construct - white supremacy.
