The book “Under the Skin”: The Hidden Truth of Racism on American Lives and on the Health of our Nation, provides in-depth answers to the continuing challenge of health disparities in communities of color. It challenges the too long held myth that African American health disparities are the fault of the individual and instead reveals the structural racism embedded in the practice of medicine in America.
