Yet the poor are subject to invasions of privacy that can be perceived as gross demonstrations of governmental power without limits. Courts have routinely upheld the constitutionality of privacy invasions on the poor, and legal scholars typically understand marginalized populations to have \u2018weak versions\u2019 of the privacy rights everyone else enjoys. Khiara M. Bridges investigates poor mothers\u2019 experiences with the state\u2014both when they receive public assistance and when they do not. Presenting a holistic view of just how the state intervenes in all facets of poor mothers\u2019 privacy, Bridges shows how the Constitution has not been interpreted to bestow these women with family, informational, and reproductive privacy rights. Bridges seeks to turn popular thinking on its head: Poor mothers\u2019 lack of privacy is not a function of their reliance on government assistance\u2014rather it is a function of their not bearing any privacy rights in the first place. Until we disrupt the cultural narratives that equate poverty with immorality, poor mothers will continue to be denied this right.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lewis Lounge Knight Law Center 1515 Agate St. UO campus Printable poster PDF Inaugural Lecture: Race, Ethnicities, and Inequalities Colloquium Khiara Bridges teaches at Boston University with a joint appointment in the School of Law and the Anthropology Department.
