Book description
This isn't just another book on racism-it's a vital, urgent wake-up call delivered with profound clarity, and hearing it as an audiobook makes the impact utterly undeniable. Layal Liverpool, a science journalist with laser focus, lays bare the devastating, systemic truth: racism isn't just a social injustice in medicine; it's actively making everyone sicker. The statistics are staggering, yet her narration-calm, authoritative, and deeply human-makes them impossible to ignore: Black and Asian patients in the UK wait nearly a week longer for cancer diagnoses, and globally, people of color face dramatically higher risks of dying in childbirth or infancy. As Chris van Tulleken powerfully states, this is a "public health crisis" demanding action.
What makes Systemic so transformative, especially as an audiobook, is how Liverpool doesn't just expose the problem-she arms you with solutions. She debunks the dangerous myth that illness "equalizes" everyone (Siddhartha Mukherjee's praise is spot-on), and instead, she provides concrete, science-backed paths forward. You'll learn how individuals can advocate for themselves and others using data, and how governments can enact real policy change. Annabel Sowemimo rightly calls it a "powerful examination," and listening to Liverpool's meticulous research unfold-interviews, global data, cutting-edge insights-feels like receiving a crucial, actionable blueprint for healing. It's not just about fixing healthcare for marginalized communities; it's about making all medicine better, safer, and more effective for everyone. This audiobook isn't just informative-it's a necessary catalyst, making you feel the weight of the crisis and the tangible hope for a healthier future. A truly groundbreaking listen that will change how you see the world, and your own health, forever.
