Divided

Annabel Sowemimo’s Divided is a bold and necessary examination of racism in modern healthcare systems. Drawing on medical history, case studies, and her own experience as a doctor, she reveals how structural inequalities are embedded in clinical practice, research, and policy. Sowemimo writes with clarity and conviction, making complex systems accessible while highlighting their profound human impact. She challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about who is harmed and who is protected in current medical structures. The book is both a critique and a call to action, urging institutions to reckon with their colonial and racial legacies. It is impactful, urgent, and deeply important.
