Was U.S. Emancipation Exceptional in the Atlantic, or Other Worlds?
No full textA refreshing and intriguing interdisciplinary examination of the ways in which the history and cultures of the American South have been largely shaped by forces beyond the geographical boundaries of the United States. --Allison Graham, author of Framing the South This is an impressive collection of essays, reflective of the latest theoretical interpretations that illuminate how scholars are looking anew at local stories within a global context. --Glenn T. Eskew, author of But for Birmingham While much research on the American South considers the region in terms of its relationship with the North, emphasizing black and white racial binaries and outdated geographical boundaries, The American South and the Atlantic World seeks larger thematic and spatial contexts. This is the first book to focus explicitly on how contacts with the peoples, cultures, ideas, and economies of the Atlantic World have decisively shaped the history and culture of the American South from colonial times to the modern era. The essays in this interdisciplinary volume examine a wide range of topics, including race, migration, religion, law, slavery, emancipation, literature, memoir, popular culture, and ethnography. At a time when there is growing emphasis on globalizing southern studies the collection both demonstrates and critiques the value of Atlantic World perspectives on the region. Equally important, the mix of case studies and state-of-the field essays combines the latest historical thinking on the South\u27s myriad Atlantic World connections with the kinds of innovative cultural and literary scholarship associated with developments in the New Southern Studies. Ultimately, the volume reveals that there is still much to be learned about both the Atlantic World and the American South by considering them in tandem and from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Moreover, by probing the Atlantic coordinates of the material, historical, emotional, intellectual, cultural, and symbolic South, these essays provide an important framework for better understanding the region and the succession of Atlantic Worlds to which it has long been intimately and distinctively connected.

Contraceptive practices and reproductive patterns in sickle cell disease
No full textA questionnaire was administered to 52 females with sickle disease of genotypes Hgb SS, SC, and S-thalassemia, and to 80 control subjects. They answered questions pertaining to their contraceptive habits, their reproductive habits, and their sexual activity. It was found that sexual activity differed significantly for the 2 groups: only 38% of the females in the sicle cell group reported sexual activity compared with 81% of the females in the control groups. Contraception was used less frequently by the sickle cell group (33% vs. 66%). The most commonly used method was an oral contraceptive. However, barrier methods were chosen by the cumulative majority. The 2 groups exhibited similar rates of contraception but differences in the outcome of the pregnancies--sickle cell patients experienced more miscarriages and premature births. There was a greater percentage of cesarean sections among sickle cell patients (46%) compared to 18% in the control group. author\u27s modifie
