In Under the Skin, Linda Villarosa lays bare the forces in the American health-care system and in American society that cause Black people to 'live sicker and die quicker' compared to their white counterparts. Today's medical texts and instruments still carry fallacious slavery-era assumptions that Black bodies are fundamentally different from white bodies. Study after study of medical settings show worse treatment and outcomes for Black patients. Black people live in dirtier, more polluted communities due to environmental racism and neglect from all levels of government. And, most powerfully, Villarosa describes the new understanding that coping with the daily scourge of racism ages Black people prematurely. Anchored by unforgettable human stories and offering incontrovertible proof, Under the Skin is dramatic, tragic, and necessary reading."--Amazon.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.10899 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.10899 Vi item being mended Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.10899 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
