Description

Racial Prescriptions examines how genetic thinking shapes contemporary understandings of racial health disparities in the United States. Published by Routledge, this critical work explores the politics of life and health, investigating how pharmaceutical solutions and genetic frameworks intersect with racialized inequalities affecting populations disproportionately burdened by diseases including heart disease and diabetes. Rather than focusing solely on social and environmental approaches, the book traces how the mapping of the human genome has fundamentally altered discussions around racial health disparities, introducing genetic determinism into policy debates. Essential reading for scholars in anthropology, sociology, medical humanities, and public health seeking to understand how biomedical authority shapes understandings of race, difference, and inequality.
