Edition DescriptionNew Edition
SynopsisThe forty-year Tuskegee Syphilis Study which took place from the 1930s to the 1970s, has become a metaphor for medical racism, government malfeasance, and physician arrogance. Susan M. Reverby provides a comprehensive analysis of the notorious study of untreated syphilis among African American men. With rigorous clarity, Reverby investigates the study and its aftermath from multiple perspectives., The forty-year Tuskegee Syphilis Study, which took place in and around Tuskegee, Alabama, from the 1930s through the 1970s, has become a profound metaphor for medical racism, government malfeasance, and physician arrogance. Susan M. Reverby's Examining Tuskegee is a comprehensive analysis of the notorious study of untreated syphilis among African American men, who were told by U.S. Public Health Service doctors that they were being treated, not just watched, for their late-stage syphilis. With rigorous clarity, Reverby investigates the study and its aftermath from multiple perspectives and illuminates the reasons for its continued power and resonance in our collective memory.
