AÂ science-based, data-driven, and global exploration of
racial disparities in health care access by virologist,
immunologist, and science journalist Layal Liverpool; In the spirit
of ambitious bestselling books like Medical Apartheid and Killing
the Black Body. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us that viruses
disproportionately affect people of color. Here, Layal Liverpool
goes a step further to show that this disparity exists for all
types of illness and that it is caused by racism. Liverpool
will show how racism is woven, invisibly, not just into the
structure of medicine and science but into our very bodies.
Refuting the false belief that there are biological differences
between races, Liverpool goes on to show that racial stereotyping
and trauma can however lead to biological changes that make people
of color more vulnerable to illness. Systemic tackles: The
problem of racial bias and data gaps in medicine where the default
human subject is white The dangerous health consequences of
systemic racism, from the physical and psychological effects of
daily micro- and macro-aggressions to intergenerational trauma The
fatal stereotypes that keep people of color undiagnosed, untreated,
and unsafe How we can fix these problems by confronting bias and
closing the data gap Using data-driven science, Layal Liverpool
shows that racism itself can have biological consequences on the
body.
