Product Description
The forty-year “Tuskegee” Syphilis Study has become the American metaphor for medical racism, government malfeasance, and physician arrogance. The theme of histories, films, rumors, and political slogans, it received an official federal apology from President Bill Clinton in a White House ceremony.
Susan M. Reverby offers a comprehensive analysis of the notorious study of untreated syphilis, which took place in and nearly Tuskegee, Alabama, from the 1930s through the 1970s. The study caught up hundreds of African American men, most of whom were told by the doctors from the U.S. Broadcast Health Service that they were being treated, not just watched, for their late-stage syphilis. Reverby examines the study and its upshot from multiple perspectives to clarify what happened and why the study has such power in collective memory. She follows the study’s repercussions in facts and fictions.
Reverby highlights the many uncertainties that persistent the study during its four decades and explores the newly available medical minutes. She uncovers the different ways it was understood by the men, their families, and the health care professionals, ultimately revising the conventional wisdom on the study.
Writing with rigor and clarity, Reverby illuminates the events and upshot of the study and sheds light on the complex knot of trust, betrayal, and belief that keeps this study alive in our cultural and political lives.
