DESCRIPTION:BODILY NATURES\, NATURAL BODIES: SETTLER COLONIALISM\, INDIGENOUS MOTHERHOOD\, AND THE DISPOSSESIVE POLITICS OF REPRODUCTION\n\n\nIn 1889\, a doctor named AF King weighed in on a debate among his colleagues about whether or not childbirth was natural: “If we would understand natural parturition\, pure and simple\, we must study primitive woman – woman of the forest and the field.” What did King and his contemporaries mean by natural? What did it have to do with race and colonialism? This talk examines late nineteenth-century ideas about the naturalness – or not – of childbirth\, focusing on how King’s contemporaries tapped into racist ideas of Indigenous birth\, accumulated through settler politics of knowledge production about Indigenous people in the US West. By recognizing the politics of gender\, race\, nature\, and reproduction at the center of settler colonialism as a dispossessive power structure\, this history contextualizes contemporary debates about the naturalness of birth\, biological motherhood\, and other reproductive functions.
