A FINALIST FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING 2023 'A vital
call to action' LEAH HAZARD '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.
