Systemic: How Racism Is Making Us Ill

Autor Dr Layal Liverpool
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iun 2024
'A work of towering importance that will undoubtedly change science and save lives, but it will also change the way you see yourself and the people around you' Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People'A groundbreaking, brilliantly argued book that debunks the myth that illness is the great equaliser' Siddhartha MukherjeeFirst, do no harm: All doctors train under this ethos, but what happens when harm comes not from conscious actions, but unconscious bias?Then, do the research: People of Black or Asian ethnicity in England wait longer than white people for a cancer diagnosisAboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are nearly four times more likely to die from pregnancy complications than non-Indigenous AustraliansThe majority of Black therapy patients in Germany have had their experience of racism dismissed by their mental health counsellor In Systemic, science journalist Layal Liverpool unearths the shocking research and articulates the vital solutions to the potent health threat of racism in society, science and medicine. Across the world, in every country she has studied and in every area of medicine she has examined, people belonging to marginalised racial and ethnic groups disproportionately experience poor health outcomes - with people of colour often experiencing worse health compared with White people. From cardiovascular disease to viruses, cancer to mental illness, Liverpool delves into the reasons racial health disparities exist and reveals that diseases are not 'great equalisers' - not when you live in an unequal society. She shows how the widespread adoption of anti-racist medical standards and societal policies will be central in creating a healthier world for everyone.

Recenzii

Layal Liverpool has produced a work of towering importance that will undoubtedly change science and save lives, but it will also change the way you see yourself and the people around you. Systemic is beautifully written and scholarly but perhaps almost uniquely for such a book it is deeply personal and accessible, packed with compelling stories and fascinating details which are harnessed to make an impassioned argument for a better world
A groundbreaking, brilliantly argued book that debunks the myth that illness is the great equaliser. With a strong foundation in science and biology, Layal Liverpool unequivocally proves that addressing bias in medicine and data gaps in research will lead to a healthier and more equal world
