About This Book
The Injustice of Tuberculosis (2025) examines how the world's deadliest infection thrives not because of medical limitations but because of systemic inequality. Following the life-altering experience of Henry Reider, a young man from Sierra Leone, this book exposes how centuries of racism influenced medical treatment, why pharmaceutical corporations withhold cures that have been available for generations, and the methods people use to resist these forces.
