Description
From race-based pharmaceutical prescriptions and marketing, to race-targeted medical â?ohot spottingâ?? and the Affordable Care Act, to stem-cell trial recruitment discourse, Subprime Health is a timely examination of race-based medicine as it intersects with the concept of debt.A The contributors to this volume propose that race-based medicine is inextricable from debt in two key senses. They first demonstrate how the financial costs related to race-based medicine disproportionately burden minorities, as well as how monetary debt and race are conditioned by broader relations of power. Second, the contributors investigate how race-based medicine is related to the concept of indebtedness and is often positioned as a way to pay back the debt that the medical establishmentâ?"and society at largeâ?"owes for the past and present neglect and abuses of many communities of color. By approaching the subject of race-based medicine from an interdisciplinary perspectiveâ?"critical race studies, science and technology studies, public health, sociology, geography, and lawâ?"this volume moves the discussion beyond narrow and familiar debates over racial genomics and suggests fruitful new directions for future research.A Contributors: Ruha Benjamin, Princeton U; Catherine Bliss, U of California, San Francisco; Khiara M. Bridges, Boston U; Shiloh Krupar, Georgetown U; Jenna M. Loyd, U of Wisconsinâ?"Milwaukee; Anne Pollock, Georgia Tech.
