BOOK ABSTRACT:

From race-based pharmaceutical prescriptions and marketing, to race-targeted medical “hot spotting” and the Affordable Care Act, to stem-cell trial recruitment discourse, Subprime Health is a timely examination of race-based medicine as it intersects with the concept of debt. Utilizing an interdisciplinary perspective, this volume moves the discussion beyond debates over racial genomics and suggests fruitful new directions for future research.
