Download Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present AudioBook Free
Medical Apartheid is the first in support of comprehensive history of medical experimentation on African Us citizens. Starting with the initial encounters between black Americans and Western medical scientists and the racist pseudoscience that resulted, it details the ways both slaves and freedmen were found in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge - a tradition that carries on today within some black populations. It reveals how blacks have historically been prey to grave robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the 20th century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and sociable Darwinism were used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of blacks. The merchandise of many years of prodigious research into medical publications and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of technological research and makes possible, for the very first time, a knowledge of the origins of the BLACK health deficit.
