Description
Systemic: How Racism Is Making Us Ill Racism is a public health crisis that affects us all. Science journalist Layal Liverpool investigates how racism corrodes science and medicine, leading to worse treatment for everyone. She uncovers the shocking facts behind the health threat of racism and explores the impact on black and Asian patients in the UK and globally. Liverpool's groundbreaking research reveals how a scientific bias can result in worse treatment for everyone, regardless of background. She draws on years of research, interviews, and cutting-edge data from across the world to make a clarion call for a healthier world. Practical solutions are proposed to heal our world, including ways individuals can advocate for themselves and others with scientifically backed data, and how governments can enact policies to tackle systemic inequities.
