About the Book

Ahmed Abu, a renowned public health researcher, fuses science and social justice in this urgent, "monumental" book that examines how systemic injustice impairs the health of marginalised people

America has finally realized what many of its citizens have known for centuries and what decades of public health data have shown: systemic injustice has a physical, and all too often fatal, toll on Black, brown, working-class, and poor communities, as well as any group that experiences systemic cultural oppression or economic exploitation. Americans from disadvantaged backgrounds are disproportionately more likely to die young and from chronic diseases.

white counterparts in the middle and upper classes. Three times more black mothers than white mothers die during childbirth. While the majority of US youth can expect to survive and be in good health at 50, with decades of healthy life expectancy ahead of them, white children in high-poverty Appalachian regions have a healthy life expectancy of 50 years old. We need to consider why there is such blatant injustice and what we can do about it.

The term "weathering" was created to describe the physical effects of systemic oppression, such as racism and classism. Based on more than 30 years of research, she makes the case in Weathering that how society treats us affects our health and aging more so than how well we take care of ourselves. She details how the challenges and insults society throws at people damage their health as a result of what happens to their bodies as they try to withstand and overcome them. She also suggests solutions.

The pernicious effects of social injustice on the body have received little attention up until now. By shedding light on the subject and providing a road map for hope, Weathering changes the paradigm
