It’s a stunning exposé of why Black people in our society 'live sicker and die quicker'—an eye-opening game changer."--Oprah Daily"Gripping, incisive"--The Boston Globe"Villarosa’s empathic and sharp-sighted journalism is as astute as it is groundbreaking, as brilliant as it is timely. Let the conversations begin!"--Jacqueline Woodson, New York Times bestselling author of Red at the Bone“It’s no secret that Black people are subject to the cumulative effects of systemic racism. But Linda Villarosa’s Under the Skin walks us through the inevitable consequences of living in a racist country on our bodies, our environments, and our healthcare system. The cultural manifestations of the physical and psychological traumas affecting Black People alter or distort all our lives. Those of us who understand that structural violence has physical ramifications will be in debt to Under the Skin. I am grateful for the arrival of this book. It is a relief to have the truth of racialized trauma exposed in such cogent, undeniable writing and with such genius analysis. This is journalism at its finest. If you read one book this year, let it be this one.”--Claudia Rankine, author of Citizen: An American Lyric"In Under the Skin, Linda Villarosa has written a book that will transform how you understand the relationship between race and medicine, one that makes clear the connection between our history and our health. This is a book filled with indispensable research, but also filled with humanity. Villarosa tells us important stories, and also becomes part of the story herself. I’m so glad this book exists, I will be thinking about it for a long time."--Clint Smith, New York Times bestselling author of How the Word Is Passed"Under the Skin is an eye-opening and necessary text that will fundamentally change the way you look at healthcare in the US."--Buzzfeed News"Finally, we have the definitive and long-overdue volume detailing the real cost of racism on the health and well-being of Black people in the US.

Through engrossing stories of people's real experiences and her signature rigorous reporting, she reveals the biggest picture in American life--that racism has done us all in, and produced a nation so steeped in white supremacy mythology that we cannot take care of ourselves or each other. This book is a gift, a map and a necessity, relevant for every reader who wants to understand their own time."--Sarah Schulman, author of Let the Record Show“Linda Villarosa's Under the Skin is a compelling and deeply reported examination of racial disparities in health care, cutting through the dangerous, paralyzing, and archaic myths that continue to cloud the vision of medical professionals and policymakers about what is wrong and what needs to change.” --Adam Serwer, New York Times bestselling author of The Cruelty Is the Point"Like Covid, Under The Skin is a powerful i
