This. Book. Is. Explosive. I found this book about a year ago in the huge Barnes and Noble in Union Square. It was somewhere on the bottom shelf in the African American section. The fact that I, even if accidentally, came across this book shows my dedication to finding a good book. The title is striking, and as knowledgable as I am about Black History, the assertions laid out in this book shocked me. Harriet Washington has written an extensively researched book that rebuts the negative assumptions made about Black Americans on how well or not they maintain their health. Almost from the moment Black Americans entered this country they have been subject to some of the most dangerous and sadistic medical experimentations, the likes of which Washington describes in detail. She sources actual medical journals and government texts. For a majority of the history of these illicit practices doctors, scientists, and politicians spoke freely about experimentations because: for much of the history of Black people being in America it was illegal for them to read - and no one ever thought they'd be able to. The book is long. The print is small, single spaced and every word is used with weight. The cynic in me couldn't help but think of all experimentations that went undocumented. The most inhumane experiments described I dare not recount the details here. Some of the topics that sparked the most heat during our humble book club was experimentations on female slaves that propelled modern gynecology, the sometimes theft and often times misuse of black cadavers in teaching institutions and science labs, the experimenation of known fatal chemicals on young African American children - some as young as 6 months old, and the current one-sided biochemical war going on in Black communities around the country. Harriet Washington has written a monumental documentation of the seedy aspects of the medical world chronicling centuries of abuses on the black community that have brought many in the medical and scientic fields fame, fortune and respect. This book should be required reading for all Americans - if these things have happened within just one group, they certainly can happen to others. This book is a long read, and one that may cause you to lose sleep, but the subject matter is so important to the history of medicine and ultimately healthcare in the world as we know it.
