Racism is a public health crisis that affects us all, and we can take action to address it. Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People, has conducted a groundbreaking investigation into how racism corrodes science and medicine, leading to worse treatment for everyone. Black and Asian patients in the UK wait nearly a week longer for a cancer diagnosis, and globally, people of colour are not only more likely to die while giving birth, but they are also more likely to die while being born or soon afterwards. In Systemic, science journalist Layal Liverpool unearths the shocking facts behind the health threat of racism, and when a scientific bias is this pronounced, it results in worse treatment for everyone. We are collectively more ill, medical research is held back, and our potential for scientific discoveries is reduced. But there is hope for a cure – practical solutions that we can implement to heal our world. Individuals can learn to advocate for themselves and others with scientifically backed data in the face of structural prejudice. Governments can enact policies aimed at tackling systemic inequities on a national level. Drawing on years of research, interviews, and cutting-edge data from across the world, Systemic is a clarion call for a healthier world for us all. Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Song of the Cell, says, "Liverpool is a wonderful researcher and this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, medicine, and social justice."
