Acerca de esta escucha

A physician reveals how right-wing backlash policies have mortal consequences - even for the white voters they promise to help.

Named one of the most anticipated books of 2019 by Esquire and the Boston Globe.

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. Metzl's quest to understand the health implications of "backlash governance" leads him across America's 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.

Shocked

It is amazing the levels people will go to not have to re-think their beliefs even when confronted with irrefutable facts to the opposite. People vote against their best interests and are willing to die on a hill because they cannot expand their minds. This book will have you shaking your head in disbelief and teach the reader to look at their own blind spots.

Democrats listen up

Is it possible that the answer to all the degradation presented in this excellent research, presented in an engaging manner, could be as simple as giving a big hug to a Trump supporter near you. The people described herein are not deplorable they are human. Which is to say they have been deceived by ruthless ideologues who are preying on their decency. Show them a righteous path out of their predicament and they will take it.

Every social justice leader should read this book

There are so many nuggets and strategies woven in the accounts in this book that I recommend anyone doing work around social justice should also take a listen!

Great book!

Fantastic read about how white people vote against their interests every time they vote. A true shame.

He hit the nail right on the head!

He really bolsters his arguments with verifiable facts & statistics which improves his case where people on the other side can just state their prejudices with anecdotal evidence and be believed.

One of the best...

One of the best performed narrations I've experienced...Jamie Renell provides an engaging read without employing overtly tacky performative impersonations that are often more distracting than flattering. Insightful and informative, the earnestness and sincerity of the author shines through with compassion and empathy in trying to gain some insight around the idea of "whiteness" and the reason so many working-class white people hold steadfast in preserving such a belief system, even when doing so causes them to suffer heavy emotional and physical damage.

Highly informative

This book is extremely well researched and organized. The writing is clear and the narrator does a great job. Even though there are a fair amount of numbers and statistics, the author clearly explains his research methods and the meaning of the data, without insulting the intelligence of the reader. The data does not detract from the narrative, but rather enhances his thesis.

WOW! This one is a must

The detailed information & statistical data was one thing, but the fact that many of the stories were so recent gave it a different vibe altogether. The level of hate one harbors for people that do not even care is something I will struggle with for many years to come. This is a very good & easy book that I will read again. Just advised my volunteer group & several friends & family members to take a look at this one! We are all American's & many of us are Veteran's too & we want to live here together in peace at the end of the day. ♡ Thank you for this one "speaker JMM"
