Author: Jonathan M. Metzl File Type: epub A physician reveals how right-wing backlash policies have mortal consequences -- even for the white voters they promise to help In the era of Donald Trump, many lower- and middle-class white Americans are drawn to politicians who pledge to make their lives great again. But as Dying of Whiteness shows, the policies that result actually place white Americans at ever-greater risk of sickness and death. Physician Jonathan M. Metzls quest to understand the health implications of backlash governance leads him across Americas heartland. Interviewing a range of everyday Americans, he examines how racial resentment has fueled progun laws in Missouri, resistance to the Affordable Care Act in Tennessee, and cuts to schools and social services in Kansas. And he shows these policies costs increasing deaths by gun suicide, falling life expectancies, and rising dropout rates. White Americans, Metzl argues, must reject the racial hierarchies that promise to aid them but in fact lead our nation to demise. **Review Traveling through the American heartland, a physician deconstructs how right-wing policies have fatal consequences, even for the voters they purport to help. Metzl paints a blistering portrait of a subculture so in thrall to racist ideology that they willingly invite raising gun suicides, poor healthcare, and falling life expectancies.Esquire Groundbreaking.... Metzl methodically and adeptly marshals statistical evidence that policies promising to bolster white Americans status have instead made life sicker, harder, and shorter for all.Publishers Weekly (starred review) Remarkable...Through field interviews, research and public-health data, Metzl shows that whites are harming themselves along with everyone else, and in drastic ways...A weighty but smooth read, devoid of polemics or jargon.Minneapolis Star Tribune A provocative, instructive contribution to the literature of public health as well as of contemporary politics.Kirkus Reviews Here is the diagnosis, America, and its not reassuring failing health, falling graduation rates, guns everywhere.

Read it today theres still time before the autopsy.Thomas Frank, author of Whats the Matter With Kansas? and Listen, Liberal Dying of Whiteness unveils how the very policies marketed to white people as making America great again end up harming the well-being of whites as a demographic group. This is must reading for anyone interested in understanding the current racial landscape of the United States.Jelani Cobb, Ira A. Lipman Professor of Journalism, Columbia Journalism School Copious data have long shown us the deadly effects of racist health policies on African Americans. But in Dying of Whiteness, Jonathan M. Metzl powerfully shows us this coins reverse the deadly effects on white populations of contemporary policies promulgated by vengeful politicians to restore an imaginary white superiority, and embraced by resentful, marginalized whites. Dying of Whiteness illuminates the dual devastation wrought by policies that limit access to care for the poor of every race.Harriet A. Washington, author of Medical Apartheid In his pathbreaking and provocative book, Jonathan M. Metzl draws on his dual acuity as physician and social scientist to help make sense of the urgent issue of our time how individuals not only act against their self-interests, but also support policies that contribute to their own early demise. A threadbare social safety net, further unraveled by virulent racism, has given way to an ailing body politic. Empathetic and poignant, this vital work exposes how an investment in whiteness works to the deficit of us all.Alondra Nelson, Columbia University and Social Science Research Council In this paradigm-shifting tour de force, Jonathan M. Metzl brilliantly illuminates the shocking ways that white supremacy, through backlash governance, kills white people too. Moving deftly between mountains of data and compelling storytelling, Dying of Whiteness makes a vital contribution to our national conversation about racism and its discontents. Metzl uncovers the contemporary paradox of whiteness a struggle to preserve white privilege in the midst of the declining value of whiteness. This is a must-read if you want to understand how race and the color line operate in twenty-first-century America.*Dorian Warren, president, Community Change, and co-chair, Economic Security Project Dying of Whiteness brilliantly demonstrates the tremendous impediment that white racism and backlash politics pose to our societys wellbeing, at a time when many white Americans quite literally would rather die than support policies they see as benefiting people of color. Jonathan M. Metzl issues an urgently needed call to acknowledge the deadly toll of investing in whiteness-and to work collectively toward a just society that would be healthier for everyone.Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body About the Author Jonathan M.
