Reviews

Based on exceptionally thorough scholarship and full of thought-provoking ideas, Medicating Race addresses one of the most perplexing and contentious topics in biomedical research and medical practice during the past century: race and its implications for health, disease, and treatment. Anne Pollock is trained in science and technology studies and is sensitive to the complexities of knowledge, politics, markets, and social categories. In this original study, she reveals how the modern history of heart disease is intertwined not only with the emergence and growth of the field of cardiology but also with civil rights struggles, pharmaceutical drug development and marketing, and changing notions of the biological and social meanings of race. --Steven Epstein, author of Inclusion: The Politics of Difference in Medical Research
