Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society by Arline T. Geronimus
4.0
A great introduction to health disparities and how aging is more difficult for those experiencing poverty and racial injustice. This book serves as a great beginning and introduction on these topics- it was very much written for the general public and shows that health disparities are not genetic and are not a cause of individual choices. Systemic injustice makes disease and aging worse. I took several courses in college on health disparities and how they affect certain populations and didn’t feel like this offered any new information to me, but I think this would serve as a great introduction for someone wanting to learn more about them.
