Description

Explore the complex history of African-American healthcare with An American Health Dilemma by Routledge. This book examines the medical journey from the beginnings to 1900, offering a deep look at how race has shaped health outcomes and medical practices in the United States. The narrative follows the rise of traditional medicine alongside the development of white American medical systems. It covers the vital roles played by traditional healers, root doctors, and granny midwives, while also highlighting the experiences of African-American physicians who were often underappreciated and overworked. Readers will gain insight into the impact of government support and neglect, the effects of epidemics, and the challenges of poverty. This work provides a detailed account of the interactions between scrupulous and unscrupulous doctors and scientists. It serves as a significant follow-up to Gunnar Myrdal's 1944 classic, providing a necessary perspective on how race remains a central factor in the history of American medicine.
