some books to get started,
medical apartheid by harriet washington
under the skin by linda villarosa
fighting for a hand to hold by samir shaheen-hussain
if anyone has more recs, please drop them below !!! it is sooo vital we all stay informed.
some talks of medical racism occurring in the annotate discord, so i want to take a moment to insist everyone take a few moments out of their day to do some research on this topic, and read some of the literature around it.
for my white oomfs, it is important you be able to recognise this, so you can help stand in the fight against it.
and for my bipoc oomfs, these books can be so important in fighting for our advocacy. the more we know, the more we can recognise patterns in our own lives.
i love reading through annotate reviews even for books i have no intention of ever reading. i love hearing ppls thoughts. if u ever think u r talking to an empty room know i am there. lurking.
