Racism in medicine is a taboo subject among physicians. Even though some medical abuses of African Americans, such as the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, have been revealed, they are more likely regarded as individual cases. In denying systematic racism, medical professionals and educators insist that medicine is based on value-free science and therefore the profession is prejudice-free. In Black and Blue, Hoberman (Testosterone Dreams, CH, Jul'05, 42-6537; Darwin's Athletes, CH, Sep'97, 35-0609) explores medical racism via in-depth research in published medical literature and publicized medical scandals. The author examines the origins and consequences of medical racism, relationships between black patients and white doctors, the racialization of the human organism, and medical school syllabi. The book illustrates a shocking fact: doctors and medical educators have always been influenced by stereotypical and folkloric racial beliefs. Moreover, both white and black health professionals and communities as well as the mass media have repeatedly reinforced groundless folkloric racial stereotypes in various human organs and disorders. This eye-opening work will enable health professionals to face racism in their practices and bring about racial awareness and enlightenment in medical education. It is a pioneering, systematic study of racial issues in medicine/health care. Summing Up: Highly recommended. *** Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.--A. F.
