Systemic
Autor Layal Liverpoolen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 iun 2024
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.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Racism is a public health crisis - and we can do something about it.
'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 ground-breaking investigation into how racism corrodes science and medicine - leading to worse treatment for everyone.
What can you do when science and medicine are as biased as the society they treat? Black and Asian patients in the UK wait nearly a week longer for a cancer diagnosis and globally, people of colour are not only more likely to die while giving birth, they are also more likely to die while being born - or soon afterwards.
In Systemic, science journalist Layal Liverpool unearths the shocking facts behind the health threat of racism, and when a scientific bias is this pronounced, it results in worse treatment for everyone. We are collectively more ill, medical research is held back and our potential for scientific discoveries is reduced.
But there is hope for a cure - practical solutions that we can implement to heal our world. Individuals can learn to advocate for themselves and others with scientifically backed data in the face of structural prejudice. Governments can enact policies aimed at tackling systemic inequities on a national level. Drawing on years of research, interviews and cutting-edge data from across the world, Systemic is a clarion call for a healthier world for us all.
'A groundbreaking, brilliantly argued book that debunks the myth that illness is the great equaliser' Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize winning-author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Song of the Cell
'Liverpool is a wonderful researcher and this shines through in her writing. Systemic provides a powerful examination on racism in healthcare' Annabel Sowemimo, author of Divided

Recenzii
Lucid and impressive . . . Systemic is a challenge to the way race has been posited as an explanatory full stop rather than an opening to rigorous scientific inquiry into the root causes of inequality. Liverpool pushes back against the lazy thinking that allows this. The result is a bracing, informative read that illuminates the grim social reality of racism and its effects
This book is outstanding in many ways . . . Liverpool draws from her own lived experiences, extensive scholarship and entrenched practices, as well as from many first-hand accounts from her family, researchers, clinicians, patients, policymakers, community members and activists . . . A wide-ranging, inquisitive book about health care and society - and ultimately a call for change
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
Systemic: How Racism is Making Us Ill is a poignant and timely work that intimately captures the authentic narratives of individuals. Layal's writing doesn't shy away from acknowledging the pain of systemic racism in healthcare but, much like my own experience shared in the book, transforms adversity into a catalyst for positive change. As a survivor of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, I feel deeply honoured by Layal's thoughtful approach, giving voice not only to my journey but also to the countless unspoken survivors and victims. May this transformative narrative pave the way for lasting change
Across a global canvas Layal Liverpool deploys deep compassion, gut-wrenching testimony and peerless scientific journalism to show how racism lives and kills. But then she guides us to a revelation: once we know the truth of racism, it's possible to chart a way to a health system in which anti-racism is medicine. It's a prescription that everyone needs
Scientifically and technically masterful but never lacking heart, Liverpool draws upon her own lived experiences with vulnerability and grace, so that readers may better understand their own
