Abstract

"A City Without Care: 300 Years of Racism, Health Disparities & Health Care Activism in New Orleans" by Kevin McQueeney explores the history of a racialized health care system in New Orleans from its founding to the present. The book highlights how medical racism has persisted and been challenged over generations, with a focus on unequal access to care, exclusion of Black individuals from the medical profession, racial health disparities, and the profession's support for a white supremacist social structure. Through nine chapters, McQueeney examines the intersection of medical history, urban development, and activism, making this book a valuable resource for scholars in African American history, urban history, and the history of medicine."
