Reviews

Precarious Prescriptions forges vital new terrain in the study of race, medicine, and public health in the U.S. and its borderlands. The book's carefully crafted essays explore the relationships between medicine, health, and lived experience in such diverse locales and settings as Hawai'i, pre-revolutionary Texas, the Mexican-American borderlands, and the Salish Sea. By so doing Precarious Prescriptions expands our understandings, not just of medicalized 'race' and 'racisms, ' but of medicine itself, in all of its colonizing and liberatory implications. This is vital reading indeed. --Jonathan M. Metzl, author of The Protest Psychosis
