摘要

"The Mourning After" is a collaborative effort that brings together the voices of Black women who have experienced the profound loss of a child, along with black contributors from nonprofits, senate, the medical and mental health profession, policy experts and black birth workers. This diverse range of perspectives creates a comprehensive and impactful narrative that explores the systemic issues contributing to the disproportionately high rates of infant mortality among Black communities.The anthology delves into the deeply personal stories of grief, resilience, and hope, providing a platform for Black women to share their experiences and advocate for change. Through these narratives, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the emotional, social, and cultural factors that contribute to the alarming statistics surrounding black infant mortality. "The Mourning After" also highlights the tireless efforts of nonprofits dedicated to addressing this issue, as well as the invaluable contributions of black birth workers who provide essential support and care to Black mothers throughout their pregnancy journey. By amplifying these voices, the anthology aims to foster dialogue, inspire action, and ultimately drive positive change in the healthcare system and society." -- Cover.
