'An illuminating and powerful intersectional analysis of health
inequalities and racism' i-D Magazine 'A vital call to action' Leah
Hazard, author of Womb 'Urgent examination of how modern medicine
is intertwined with colonial histories and racist ideas ...
compelling story-telling' Joanna Wolfarth, author of Milk 'Annabel
Sowemimo ... is taking the art of curating stories that matter to
another level. Prepare to be blown away' Chikwe Ihekweazu,
Assistant Director General at WHO In the wake of the Covid-19
pandemic, we are all too aware of the urgent health inequalities
that plague our world. But these inequalities have always been
urgent: modern medicine has a colonial and racist history. Here, in
an essential and searingly truthful account, Annabel Sowemimo
unravels the colonial roots of modern medicine. Tackling systemic
racism, hidden histories and healthcare myths, Sowemimo recounts
her own experiences as a doctor, patient and activist. Divided
exposes the racial biases of medicine that affect our everyday
lives and provides an illuminating - and incredibly necessary -
insight into how our world works, and who it works for. This book
will reshape how we see health and medicine - forever. 'Outstanding
... beautifully written and erudite, yet highly accessible ...
should be mandatory reading for all medical practitioners'
Jacqueline Roy, author of The Fat Lady Sings 'Necessary. In the
right hands, this book will save lives' Nova Reid, author of The
Good Ally
