Abstract

"Diabetes: A History of Race and Disease" is a book that explores the intertwined histories of race and diabetes. The author examines how the diagnosis of diabetes has changed over time and how race has been used to define and understand the disease. The book discusses the historical associations of diabetes with different racial and ethnic groups, including Jews, African Americans, Native Americans, and Latin- and Asian-Americans. It also highlights the role of systemic racism in contributing to differential rates of disease. The book provides valuable insights into the racialized labels used to define diabetes and challenges the notion that genetics alone can explain the disparities in disease rates.
