Precarious Prescriptions: Contested Histories of Race and Health in North America
Edited by Laurie B. Green, John Mckiernan-González, Martin Summers

Precarious Prescriptions brings together essays that place race, citizenship, and gender at the center of questions about health and disease. Exploring the interplay between disease as a biological phenomenon, illness as a subjective experience, and race as an ideological construct, this volume helps us better understand the long and fraught history of health care in America.
