A FINALIST FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING 2023, this work is described as 'important and ambitious' by the Observer and offers an illuminating intersectional analysis of health inequalities and racism, according to i-D Magazine. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the urgent health disparities that have long existed are brought to light, revealing the colonial and racist history of modern medicine. Annabel Sowemimo provides a candid account of these issues, drawing from her experiences as a doctor, patient, and activist. The narrative exposes the racial biases embedded in medicine that impact our daily lives and offers crucial insights into the functioning of our healthcare systems. This examination reshapes our understanding of health and medicine. Critics praise the work as an urgent exploration of the ties between modern medicine, colonial histories, and racist ideologies, highlighting its compelling storytelling and accessibility. It is deemed essential reading for medical practitioners and is seen as a necessary resource that could save lives in the right hands.
