About this ebook

Written by Scribd Editors

The consistently expanding income gap between the rich and the poor in America has led to a multitude of differences. Those on the higher end of the spectrum, the haves, reap substantial benefits, from education opportunities to salary negotiations, while people on the lower end subsist on what luck and opportunity provide during life as a have-not.

The Death Gap illuminates shocking statistics surrounding the most critical thing the poor lack—good health. The poor die sooner. David A. Ansell, MD, writes from his experience witnessing this truth in action as a doctor at hospitals serving some of the poorest communities in Chicago. The Death Gap is drawn directly from the shared narratives of his patients, which paint a stark contrast among Chicago’s communities.

Outside of Chicago, the death gap is proven to be a nationwide epidemic as Ansell points out the difference in life expectancy between the healthiest and wealthiest and the poorest and sickest neighborhoods across the nation. Ansell presents inequality as a disease, one which we need to treat as we would any major illness. To do so, he outlines a vision that will provide the foundation for a healthier nation—for all.

W.E.B. DuBois and The Wounded World w/ Chad L. Williams: In 1917, the most prominent spokesperson for African Americans, W.E.B. DuBois, shocked many when he threw his support behind enthusiastic and patriotic participation in World War I. He thought it was the key to expanding rights and treatment for African Americans. He was only to be later disappointed by the treatment of soldiers in France, the treatment of veterans when they came home, and the revision of history after the war to downplay accomplishments of African American soldiers. He struggled to write a book but could never come to terms with his own role in World War I and what came after. We discuss the life and legacy of the author and activist W.E.B. DuBois with Chad L. Williams, the Samuel J. and Augusta Spector Professor of History and African and African American Studies at Brandeis University.

#254: White People Talking About Whiteness | Eleanor Hancock: Many, if not most, white people don't think of themselves as racialized. Race, we might tell ourselves, is an issue for people who have different skin colors than ours: black people, Hispanic people, Asian people, indigenous people, etcetera. But, of course, white is a racial category. (Important side note: race, for the record, is not a biological thing; it's socially constructed.) Sadly, the white people who seem to have most clearly grasped that white is a race are white nationalists. But now it's time for white people to see whiteness, to talk to one another about it. This, many people in the racial justice world argue, is the key first step towards white people engaging fully in creating a more equitable society.
