Description

White Prescriptions? examines the alarming trend of overmedication affecting Black male students in American schools. This Routledge book investigates how Ritalin and other behavioural drugs are disproportionately prescribed to Black males, revealing systemic patterns of control that undermine educational outcomes. Fitzgerald traces the complicity of government agencies, medical practitioners, and pharmaceutical companies in perpetuating this harmful practice, contextualising it within the broader history of racial discrimination in American education. The work exposes institutional mechanisms that classify and pathologise Black male behaviour whilst failing to address underlying educational inequities. By connecting pharmaceutical policy, medical bias, and educational racism, this book provides critical analysis of how drugs are weaponised against vulnerable student populations and offers essential reading for educators, healthcare professionals, and policymakers concerned with equity.
