An effective synthesis of existing work while breaking new ground in the African American religious and secular response to race-based medicine
Connects recent medical research to older ideas about racial superiority and inferiority, the black body, and race-based experimentation
Unites scholarship on the historical, philosophical, theological, and scientific lens through which the black body has been viewed by the larger public and scientific community
