Widely regarded as the most comprehensive study of its kind, this volume offers valuable insight into the alleged medical differences between whites and blacks that translated as racial inferiority and were used to justify slavery and discrimination. In Medicine and Slavery, Todd L. Savitt evaluates the diet, hygiene, clothing, and living and working conditions of antebellum African Americans, slave and free, and analyzes the diseases and health conditions that afflicted them in urban areas, at industrial sites, and on plantations.

The only books that come close to this work focus on the Caribbean, Kenneth Kiple’s The Caribbean Slave: A Biological Study and Richard Sheridan’s Doctors and Slaves: A Medical and Demographic History of Slavery in the British West Indies, 1680-1834. Both of these titles are also from the 1980s and, to the best of my knowledge, also have not been superseded. ( )
