Summary
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are all too aware of the urgent health inequalities that plague our world. But these inequalities have always been urgent: modern medicine has a colonial and racist history.
Here, in an essential and searingly truthful account, Annabel Sowemimo unravels the colonial roots of modern medicine. Tackling systemic racism, hidden histories and healthcare myths, Sowemimo recounts her own experiences as a doctor, patient and activist.
Divided exposes the racial biases of medicine that affect our everyday lives and provides an illuminating - and incredibly necessary - insight into how our world works, and who it works for.
This book will reshape how we see health and medicine - forever.

A must read for anyone in health or social care
Well researched, balanced, clear and important. Thought provoking, harrowing, honest account of how we got to where we are. This should be an essential read for all healthcare students and professionals. Thank you.
Also the voice of the reader is so clear and easy to listen to. Without over emoting the reader allowed the words to speak for themselves.
