- Title
Diabetes: A History of Race and Disease by Arleen Marcia Tuchman (review).
- Authors
Doucet-Battle, James
- Abstract
In this way, Tuchman offers a persuasive narrative of the tortuous journey to knowledge about diabetes, a journey muddled historically and contemporaneously by the insidious racialization of both science and society. Tuchman traces how Jewish, African American, Native American, and LatinX categorized groups emerged successively in both the scientific and public imagination as differentially embodied carriers of inherited Type 2 risk. Tuchman charts the history of diabetes science as embedded within the history of racial science.
