  A crucial component of anti-Black racism is the unconscionable disparity in health outcomes between Black and white Americans. Sickening examines this institutionalized inequality through dramatic, concrete events from the past two decades, revealing how unequal living conditions and inadequate medical care have become routine. 
   
   
   
  From the spike in chronic disease after Hurricane Katrina to the lack of protection for Black residents during the Flint water crisis—and even the life-threatening childbirth experience for tennis star Serena Williams—author Anne Pollock takes listeners on a journey through the diversity of anti-Black racism operating in healthcare. She goes beneath the surface to deconstruct the structures that make these events possible, including mass incarceration, police brutality, and the hypervisibility of Black athletes' bodies. Ultimately, Sickening shows what these shocking events reveal about the everyday racialization of health in the United States. 
   
   
   
  Concluding with an examination of racialized healthcare during the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter rebellions of 2020, Sickening cuts through the mind-numbing statistics to vividly portray healthcare inequalities. In a gripping style, Pollock shows the devastating reality and consequences of systemic racism on the lives and health of Black Americans.

  Colonialism has been a defining force in shaping the modern world, leaving an indelible mark on political systems, economic structures, and cultural identities. At its core, colonialism is the practice of domination, where one nation establishes control over another, often exploiting its resources and people for economic and political gain. While the phenomenon of colonialism spans centuries, its modern form gained momentum during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, when European powers began venturing across the globe in search of wealth, land, and influence. 
  The roots of colonialism lie in the desire for expansion and power. Early explorers like Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan set the stage for European empires to claim vast territories across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. These expeditions were often justified by a mix of economic motives, religious zeal, and a belief in cultural superiority. The promise of lucrative trade routes, access to valuable resources such as spices, gold, and silver, and the opportunity to spread Christianity drove these early ventures. Over time, colonial ambitions evolved into fully-fledged empires, with nations like Britain, Spain, Portugal, France, and the Netherlands establishing global dominance. 
  Colonial rule profoundly altered the political and social structures of the colonized regions. Indigenous governance systems were often dismantled and replaced with centralized administrations that reflected the interests of the colonizing power. This shift not only disrupted traditional ways of life but also laid the foundation for many of the political challenges faced by former colonies today. Economically, colonies were exploited for their resources, creating a system of wealth extraction that enriched the colonizers at the expense of local populations.
