Medical apartheid: the dark history of medical experimentation on black Americans from Colonial times to the present

Abstract

“Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present” is a comprehensive history of medical and related abuses of African Americans. In some episodes, the exploitation is not specifically of African Americans, but more generally of the socially and economically disadvantaged. However, black victims may not take much comfort from this distinction.
