Abstract
This dissertation explores the impact of racial segregation and exclusion on health care for black Mississippians from 1877 through the first half of the twentieth century, when both the federal government and the state of Mississippi passed laws that increased the number of medical facilities. It studies the impact of race on the social history of medicine and public health. It focuses on lay and professional health care providers and recipients. In addition, the dissertation discusses black Mississippians’ efforts to build medical institutions and address inadequate access to health care in their communities. I argue that the separate and unequal medical care that blacks endured represented a form of cultural and structural violence. However, African Americans, responded to Jim Crow both through traditional means of racial self-help and as well as working with the state to improve conditions.
