Body and Soul: The Black Panther Party and the Fight against Medical Discrimination

The Black Panther Party's Health Activism: A Revolutionary Path to Social Justice is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of the organization's struggle for social justice - their health care initiatives.

Alondra Nelson's extensive historical research and interviews with former members reveal the practical and ideological reasons behind the Party's focus on health care, including its network of free clinics, campaign to address sickle-cell anemia, and challenges to medical discrimination.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the Black Panther Party's broader struggle for social justice and the importance of health care as a fundamental human right.
