About the Book
In this thought-provoking work, Keith Wailoo explores the intersections of genetics, race, and health care, using the powerful backdrop of diseases such as Tay-Sachs, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell disease. These diseases, with their complex histories and cultural significance, serve as a lens through which Wailoo examines how racial ideologies and cultural politics shape health care expectations and experiences in America.
Wailoo delves into how conflicting beliefs about the power of genetics have influenced the ways in which different racial and cultural groups perceive and experience these diseases. With careful analysis, he provides a glimpse into a diverse America where the intersections of genetics, race, and health care continue to shape societal attitudes and health outcomes. This book is an essential read for those interested in understanding the social and political dimensions of health and genetics in the United States.
