Medical StigmataRace, Medicine, and the Pursuit of Theological Liberation /[electronic resource] :by Kirk A. Johnson. - 1st ed. 2019. - IX, 178 p.online resource.

Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 Race-Based Medicine -- Chapter 3 Maleficence toward the Minority Patient -- Chapter 4 Research, Race, and Profit -- Chapter 5 Black Theology and Reconciliation -- Chapter 6 Conclusion -- Bibliography.

This book observes the idea of race as a false representation for the cause of disease. Race-based medicine, an emerging field in pharmacology, aims to create a specialty market based on racial groups. Within this market, the drug BiDil set a precedent in this area of medicine targeting African Americans as its first racial group. Consequently, selecting African Americans as a “starter group” led to ethical questions regarding the motive behind race-based medicine within the context of the larger treatment of blacks in American medical history. This book therefore links medicine and American eugenics, examines race-based medicine’s influence on the perception of the black body, traces the influence of BiDil’s approval on the resurgence of race-based medicine, and assesses the black church’s response to race-based medicine using black liberation theology as a means to social justice.
