Description

Explore a critical investigation into the overprescription of Ritalin and other behavioral drugs within the American school system. White Prescriptions? examines the dangerous social potential of psychotropic medications and how they disproportionately affect Black males. This work addresses a growing trend that often goes unnoticed in mainstream debates regarding the role of Black males in society. Fitzgerald provides a deep look into how the government, medical practitioners, and the pharmaceutical industry have worked together to facilitate these trends. By placing these modern issues against a historical backdrop of racism in American education, the book explains how these practices can hamper and endanger educational success for Black students. This text is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of medical practice, social control, and educational equity.
