\n NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER\u00a0\u2022 The first full history of Black America\u2019s shocking mistreatment as unwilling and unwitting experimental subjects at the hands of the medical establishment.\u00a0No one concerned with issues of public health and racial justice can afford not to read this\u00a0masterful book.<\/p>\n

“[Washington] has unearthed a shocking amount of information and shaped it into a riveting, carefully documented book.”\u00a0\u2014New York Times<\/p>\n

From the era of slavery to the present day, starting with the earliest encounters between Black Americans and Western medical researchers and the racist pseudoscience that resulted, Medical Apartheid details the ways both slaves and freedmen were used in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge\u2014a tradition that continues today within some black populations.<\/p>\n

It reveals how Blacks have historically been prey to grave-robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the twentieth century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and social Darwinism was used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of Blacks. Shocking new details about the government\u2019s notorious Tuskegee experiment are revealed, as are similar, less-well-known medical atrocities conducted by the government, the armed forces, prisons, and private institutions.<\/p>\n

The product of years of prodigious research into medical journals and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of scientific research and makes possible, for the first time, an understanding of the roots of the African American health deficit. At last, it provides the fullest possible context for comprehending the behavioral fallout that has caused Black Americans to view researchers\u2014and indeed the whole medical establishment\u2014with such deep distrust.
