Abstract
Helen A. Gibson analyzes granny (Grand) midwives' epistemic and embodied care as a disruption of racialized capitalism with cosmic significance. Superseding temporalities of crisis, granny midwives practiced what Calvin Warren calls spiritual breath (à la Ashon Crawley's theorization) and thinking as the same. This poisis speaks to Black feminist and Womanist historiographical interventions, such as those by Saidiya Hartman, Jennifer L. Morgan, and Alys Weinbaum, of the solidarity-laden mode of living known as the Black radical tradition.
