Walkin' Over Medicine tells the story of how African Americans have navigated the often hostile and discriminatory medical system in the United States. From the days of slavery, when black people were denied access to basic medical care, to the present day, when they continue to face health disparities, African Americans have had to find their own ways to heal.
This book draws on a wide range of sources, including interviews with patients, doctors, and healers, to provide a rich and nuanced account of the African American experience with medicine.
The authors argue that African Americans have developed their own unique healing practices, which are rooted in their faith, culture, and community. These practices have often been dismissed by the mainstream medical establishment, but they have played a vital role in the survival and well-being of African Americans.
Walkin' Over Medicine is a powerful and moving account of the resilience and creativity of African Americans in the face of adversity. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the history of medicine in the United States, and the ongoing struggle for health equity.
