Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2017. xi + 279 pp. $49.95 (978-1-4214-2155-1). Contrary to conventional views in the Global North, silicosis is not a thing of the past.

Theorizing Race and Racism
The current political economic crisis in the United States places in sharp relief the tensions and contradictions of racial capitalism as it manifests materially in health care and in knowledge-producing practices. Despite nearly two decades of investment in research on racial inequality in disease, inequality persists. While the reasons for persistence of inequality are manifold, little attention has been directed to the role of medical educatio…
Avoiding Racial Essentialism in Medical Science Curricula
A wave of medical student activism is shining a spotlight on medical educators' sometimes maladroit handling of racial categories in teaching about health disparities. Coinciding with recent critiques, primarily by social scientists, regarding the imprecise and inappropriate use of race as a biological or epidemiological risk factor in genetics research, medical student activism has triggered new collaborations among students, faculty, and admini…

Minneapolis: U of Minnesota P, 2015. 368pp. $94.50 cloth/$27.00 paper. In a recent issue of the premier journal Science, an interdisciplinary team of scholars called for the elimination of race from human genetics research. A startling call by any accoun…
Michael Yudell, Race Unmasked
The use of race, as defined by the ever-changing United States census categories, is widespread since the National Institutes of Health (NIH) mandated its use in all research studies in the 1990s. Many contemporary geneticists justify the use of race in medical research as a pragmatic choice, a necessity until personalised medicine is more fully developed. Other scholars have argued that, for complicated reasons, the NIH mandates have contributed…
Breathing Race into the Machine
In the antebellum South, plantation physsicians used a new medical device - the spirometer - to show that lung volume and therefore vital capacity were supposedly less in black slaves than in white citizens. At the end of the Civil War, a large study of racial difference employing the spirometer appeared to confirm the finding, which was then applied to argue that slaves were unlit for freedom. What is astonishing is that this example of racial t…

Structuring silence
Over the last quarter of the twentieth century, asbestos-induced diseases began to attract widespread attention as a result of labour activism, media coverage, government regulation, scientific research and extensive litigation in North America and Europe. The consequences of asbestos mining and manufacture in producer countries, such as South Africa, where the multinational industry operated, however, remained largely invisible internationally. …
Asbestos-Related Disease in South Africa
South Africa was the third largest exporter of asbestos in the world for more than a century. As a consequence of particularly exploitative social conditions, former workers and residents of mining regions suffered—and continue to suffer—from a serious yet still largely undocumented burden of asbestos-related disease. This epidemic has been invisible both internationally and inside South Africa. We examined the work environment, labor policies, a…
Engaging the experts
In the early 1990s, breast cancer activists in the United States challenged the scientific establishment to include lay activists in the inner circles of science policy making. Within a few years, activists' demands extended beyond policy to inclusion in the everyday practices of science, that is, in the formulation of research questions, the design of scientific studies and the review of scientific grant proposals. While some activists refer to …

Asbestos Blues
From the mid-1940s to the mid-1970s, blue asbestos was mined in South Africa for worldwide use. More recently, it has been identified as one of the most dangerous carcinogens to which humans can be exposed. Yet the asbestos mining industry and the South African government have been slow to respond to the health concerns of miners and to the environmental devastation, which has left vast areas of the Northern Cape permanently hazardous. In Asbesto…
Development and implementation of a science training course for breast cancer activists
Objective To develop and implement Project LEAD (leadership, education, and advocacy development), a science course for breast cancer activists. Population Students were breast cancer activists and other consumers, mainly affiliated with advocacy organizations in the United States of America. Setting Project LEAD is offered by the National Breast Cancer Coalition; the course takes place over 5 days and is offered 4 times a year, in various cities…
