Description
Death by Design by Sanyu A. Mojola explores the profound racial life expectancy gap in Washington, DC, a city marked by some of the nation's most severe epidemics, including maternal and infant mortality, homicide, heroin overdoses, and HIV/AIDS. These health crises have disproportionately affected African Americans.
The book investigates why and how racial health inequality exists and persists. Starting from the city's founding in the late 1700s, it draws on a diverse range of sources, including archival material, life history interviews, as well as census, vital statistics, and disease surveillance data.
This comprehensive analysis illustrates how the physical, social, and policy design of Washington, DC, contributes to the production and reproduction of disproportionate Black death.
