Systemic: How Racism Is Making Us Ill
Layal Liverpool / German, English / 2024 / 461 Pages
In “Systemic: How Racism Is Making Us Ill”, Layal Liverpool examines how systemic racism severely impacts the health of Black people and people of colour. From longer waiting times for cancer diagnoses to higher mortality rates during childbirth—the former biomedical researcher demonstrates how prejudice and discrimination lead to significant health inequalities. The book is a call for a more just healthcare system and shows how we can all contribute to change.
