Important and ambitious

Observer

This searing polemic reveals how racism and colonialism have shaped science and medicine, leading to the health inequalities we see all around us today.

Activist, doctor, and patient, Annabel Sowemimo reinserts the stories of Black and Indigenous scientists and doctors into the historical narrative, reframing how we see the objective systems we operate within.

In confronting this history, she argues for a better understanding of our collective past to bring about urgent change.

Outstanding ... I can't stress the importance of this book strongly enough.

JACQUELINE ROY, author of The Fat Lady Sings

An unflinching, hugely eye-opening exploration of medicine's brutal colonial history.
