Masters of Health: Racial Science and Slavery in U.S. Medical Schools
by Christopher D. E. Willoughby
Medical science in antebellum America was organized around a paradox: it presumed African Americans to be less than human yet still human enough to be viable as experimental subjects, as cadavers, and for use in the training of medical students. By taking a hard look at the racial ideas of both northern and southern medical schools, Christopher D. E. Willoughby reveals that racist ideas were not external to the medical profession but fundamental to medical knowledge.
Big Flame: Building the Movements, New Politics
by Max Farrar and Kevin McDonnell
This book addresses the ideas and experiences of a small British revolutionary socialist and feminist organisation in the 1970s and 1980s.
Written by two former members, it sets out the organisation’s eclectic influences: Italian Marxism, libertarianism, anarchism ― and its complex relationship with Leninism and Trotskyism. Big Flame lost momentum in the early 1980s when many leftists joined the Labour Party. It includes a critical interpretation of Big Flame’s successes and failures.
