This book observes the idea of race as a false representation for the cause of disease. Race-based medicine an emerging field in pharmacology aims to create a specialty market based on racial groups. Within this market the drug BiDil set a precedent in this area of medicine targeting African Americans as its first racial group. Consequently selecting African Americans as a starter group led to ethical questions regarding the motive behind race-based medicine within the context of the larger treatment of blacks in American medical history. This book therefore links medicine and American eugenics examines race-based medicine's influence on the perception of the black body traces the influence of BiDil's approval on the resurgence of race-based medicine and assesses the black church's response to race-based medicine using black liberation theology as a means to social justice.
